There is a widely accepted misconception as to how antidive works.
I agree with this above... BUT... It disagrees with this you said below. Also I do think you can induce antidive with with brakes on an independant suspension. I needs clarification here! I is cornfuzed!
No contradiction at all. There is no brake induced antidive with indepentent rear suspension therefore caliper position makes no difference as far as antidive is concerned.
What exactly are you going to do in the rear to prevent dive? If you make it lift the rear then the front will dive more, you could make it the opposite of front anti dive and have it lower the rear which would result in the whole car squatting when you hit the brakes.
This is going to get deep real fast. With anti-dive in the front you are using the brake torque to try to keep the front suspension from compressing.What exactly are you going to do in the rear to prevent dive?

I am not real sure what you could gain.
There is NO WAY that chain holds up for any length of time!
