Stiff Suspension vs Rear Brake Compensator

[Memphisspider]

Just bought a 76' spider with performance spring kit, 1" front sway bar,
and rear sway bar.
It feels like the car should stop quicker. Does any one think the suspension setup
is not allowing the front to dive enough for the compensator to allow enough
pressure to the rear brakes? The brakes are a bit spongy and may only need bleeding.
The e-brake is adjusted and will barely hold. Any more and the rear brakes will drag.
I don't know the condition of the rear calipers.

As weight is transferred forward the compensator reduces pressure to the rear to prevent them locking up.

If the front does not dive then there would be more pressure to the rear. What locks up first, the front or the rear wheels?

if your performance springs have lowered the car, then the compensator really won't work anyway

Sounds like you should start with a good brake job.

Anti-dive is set by the configuration of the front end. Lowering the ride height within reason does not change it that much. Adding stiffer springs and larger sway bars only effect wheel rate. Having an unusually high wheel rate would require a shock change. The brake compensator(if it still works) only effects pressure with changes in ride height.
