Dive

The dipping of a car's nose that occurs when the brakes are applied. Dive is caused by a load transfer from the rear to the front suspension; this transfer occurs because the car's centre of gravity, through which all inertial forces pass, is higher than its contact patches, the points where the braking forces are exerted on the ground.
