Well your car leans forward because when you apply the brakes your piston travels in the reservoir and applies the front brakes first then the rear. And when you take off your tires pull the car down because the tires grab the ground like a suction cup causing the body to follow.

The rotation of the wheels (assuming you are going forward) tries to rotate the car around the centerline of the drive wheels. This tries to drive the back of the car down, causing the front to lift. The shift in inertia causes the car nose to push down during deceleration.

It is called inertia. An object that is still wants to stay still until acted upon by a force. Nose up on acceleration.
An object in motion wants to stay in motion until acted upon by force. Nose down while braking.
To much and you have a suspension problem.

Due to the inertia of the vehicle at it's center of gravity as tires pull forward at the road surface during acceleration and resist forward motion during braking as the car's inertia continues to pull the car forward. If your car does it too much, you need stiffer shocks/struts.

All cars do this big motor or not good shocks or not.It's caused by all the weight of and in the vehicle being shifted forward or back as you brake or accelerate

I had a 1973 Charger SE with the 400 and did the same thing.
Pretty cool huh?? Big engine in a big car.

Because car engines are in the front unless you own a really old beetle?

Weight transfer via inertia.

depends on what speed your going on a take off and when your braking,also it could be bad shocks,struts or springs.

You need new shocks in front or you have a VERY fast car.
