Re: front end
That sure looks like a lot of brake dive. I'm not sure if struts along would take care of it. You may need to go with stiffer front springs.

Re: front end
How old are the struts? Are they stock? What about the springs? Also your rearend looks like its up too high. This will make the diving problem worse by causing excessive weight transfer. A stiffer front end with a lowered rearend should help out your performance.
Re: front end
strurs are not stock but they are about 4 years old. i have lowered the rear some. i have never changed the springs and now that i think about it this car was a 6cyl when i got it so the springs probably are too light....just needed sombody to point out the obvious..lol.. thanks, not sure how long it would have taken me think about that.

Re: front end
struts, koni yellows
springs, maybe splurge on a set of ground controls's weight jacks? the height and spring rate options are nice.
or on the cheaper, a set of moog iroc replacements springs, trimmed down. (they make the car sit high)
