Out of curiosity, the 1LE has the better toe rods on it, are the aftermarket units even better?

Yes. The aftermarket toe links and bushings are substantially stronger.

Have you upgraded your rear cradle bushings?

It's all about your Alignment. If you lower your car, you Camber wants to go out of whack negative. Adjustable Trailing Arms fix that.

Toe Adjustment is getting your Alignment correct and not destroying tires

Make them #1 on your list. The entire suspension and drive train in the rear of the car connect to the rear cradle which is then bolted to the car. Those bushings are literally the foundation of the rear of the car.

I have BMR Poly Urethane Subframe, Toe Rod and Trailing Arm Bushings as well as the Toe Rods and Trailing Arms themselves and I still have a ton of Wheel Hop...

My car is very low but I still only have a negative camber of -.5 in the rear...

If anyone has any further suggestions that would help, it would be appreciated... Right now I am looking at getting some sort of Solid Subframe bushings, perhaps Delrin...

Any thoughts? I would appreciate any insight!

Cheers

I should also mention that it looks like I need to replace the half shafts because they are getting bent/warped and cause vibration at certain speeds,I'd like to do this before I start racing on the road course track this spring, are there any tougher upgrades to the half shafts I can make?

I would go ahead with the solid rear cradle bushings and you could probably benefit from taking a look at your alignment.
