For a road SS, is the 1LE track pac with FE3-FE4 conversion a good mod or are there better options?

It is definitely a pretty significant improvement over your stock set up. Swapping to that geometry with upgrades components is obviously going to be a bigger improvement, but for the typical street application it is not completely necessary. However, none of that is directly related to the wheel hop issue.

Even the 1LE benefits from cradle bushings. The differential bushings have been debated if they are necessary but they will improve the situation.

Rear cradle bushings are a good idea across the board. Differential bushings are tricky because of the potential for gear noise.

The differential bushings are one of those areas where you need to know what you are getting into. You may not notice much noise but then again you could. You just need to do the math for yourself as to whether it is worth it or not. |

You can't go wrong with BMR. They have pretty much all the bases covered and their stuff is rock solid. All of the suspension and chassis upgrades under my car are BMR.

reminds me of when folks discuss how a muzzle brake reduced the recoil of their rifle. NO IT DID NOT, it simply reduced the FELT recoil by redirecting the energy somewhere else. Basic physics- Every actiona has an equal and opposite reaction.
