Default Brake Experts…. BMW squat compared to Corvette Dive.

I drove a BMW 735i a few years back, and noticed when I hit the brakes the front and rear brakes pulled equally, and the BMW squats, and the rear end doesn’t come up at all.
When I hit the brakes in the Vette, or any American car, the front end dives, and the backend rises. I would like to have the equal braking of the BMW incorporated into my Vette. Any one know how to modify the proportioning valve to achieve this equal braking? 1990 Convertible
