Brake bias spring, nose dive

Hello!
I did buy the brake bias spring for my ZO6 and there is no place to install the spring. I did realize that 2001 ZO6 do not need one.
What I did today was installing the DRM brake ducts and tomorrow I doing the SSBC 3 piston brake calipers and Phanter 10 brake pads front and back.
I also trying to install a self made transmission cooler system with Tilton pump and Earl's transcooler. And if I have time before PCA drivers Ed in Moroso next weekend I am trying to install Sparco EVO seat with home made brackets.

What I was dreaming to do was to use the spring to have less nose dive because of the uppgraded front calipers. I have not seen anybody using the SSBC calipers but they sure look much stronger than stock and have steel pistons.
Probably I need to buy a stiffer front spring. Where can I buy the spring and what spring rate?
