Brake Dive
Have a '05 4.4i and do a lot of driving in/around NYC, and hence a lot of stop and go. There seems to be quite a bit of dive when I brake and difficult to modulate. I find my bro-in-law's '02 Camary stops w/ less dive . By friend's Boxster stops w/ zero dip at all from any speed, but that's another story...

I've diminished it a bit by lowering the rear tire pressure to 32, so it is now f/r 32/32, rather than what I got it from the dealer originally 32/37.

Is this normal? What should I compare the braking of this to? Any suggestions for tweaking?
