Quite the opposite will actually happen. If you load the front under heavy braking then there will be less weight on the rear. The rear shock will actually lengthen. You will also probably lock the rear, believe me I've done it
. I damn near crapped myself the first time I did it. I never ever use the rear brake on track, it's just too unpredictable. The only use for the rear brake on track is when you get into the kitty litter or on the grass.
I rarely use the rear brake on the road too, only in really crappy conditions, or on garage forecourts where there's usually fuel spilt.
