Any hints guys?
There are three items you want and need to address.

1. When you 5th Gen was lowered were the bushes timed?
2. Rear alignment is critical to hooking up on launch. What are your current alignment specifications.
3. Have you installed sub-frame inserts or bushes?

1 and 2 are done already with no problems at that time but to be honest with you I added some hp on the rear wheels recently (LT headers and tune).

I dont feel that the car is handling these extra ponies well. Frankly my main problem is with the traction control being activated on every wheel hop or road imperfection which delays the car steady launch and makes it swings!

I didnt install the sub frame inserts yet. Do you think that they are much important that trailing arms and toe links?

Do the subframe inserts, you'll be amazed at the results.
