Message trying to raise the rear end and in theory could make it stay entirely level. The height from pavement to the center of the car's weight is the moment arm. The amount that the centroid raises during stopping is usually a pretty small percentage of that height. So what I'm saying is you can change things a little with suspension changes, but not much. The only major variable is the height to the centroid. Other variables are pretty easy to get close:

My main point is for about the first 20 years after the 300zx came out there were no rear brake upgrades available from brake companies. This is because they really are not needed. Faster stopping reduces the demand on rear brakes.
