Antidive and antiroll

Hi all,

I think I have an interesting question I hope someone can answer:

We "know" antidive is affected by brake distribution, as it does not depend only in the geometry (kinematics), but also on the forces involved. If you use your hand brake or your foot brake you can feel pitch is different (in some cars you can also have the rear going much lower that the front if you use the handbrake).

Why in roll analysis we never take this consideration? What would happen if we have different grip levels for the inner and outer tyres? Is antiroll affected? How would you calculate antiroll percentage in that case?

Regards,

Rodrigo.
