Dive, Anti-dive - kickup, Anti-kickup?
Anyone have experience with Dive, Anti-dive - kickup, Anti-kickup or can explain their understandings of how they work or when to use them? When not to use them? Advantages, disadvantages? Carpet, asphalt/tarmac?
I've read the manual's interpretation but would like a racers perspective
Would appreaciate some insights about the various roll center setups
Preemptive thanks

Anti-Dive;
I recall at a couple of high grip tracks that anti-dive was being recommended, this was to stop so much weight going forward at corner entry to prevent the car from hooking at corner entry, it helped smooth it out a bit.
Haven't felt the need on anything else.
I have seen a few team driver setups where it's been used in small amounts as it effects caster by reducing it.
Anti-Squat;
Almost the opposite effect, Is used to help keep the weight forward, particularly on power. Helped with steering etc but lost a little rear traction.
Those are the only two I've ever tried and I haven't used either for some time.

Yeah, that all sounds about right. I run a bit of anti-dive in my car because it had a tendency to hook on high grip track. I had been running a lot of pro-squat which I seem to like but I'll be experimenting with a bit less the next time out because my setup progress has started go show signs of loose entry. Pro-squat does exactly what it says, but under deceleration is also allows the weight to come forward more easily.
