Adding pressure helps because it stiffens the sidewall and reduces your contact patch reducing your traction. trailing arms and toe links is where I would start. The cradle bushings is kind of a big job and you may not need them. Get a set of poly bushings for the trailing arms as well.

This is what corrected mine along with a sway bar change. Cradle bushings weren't even needed. At some point I will do them though.

When I see what's going on downstairs, I don't even wonder that it dances so much.

Basically, the rear toe rods should solve my problem.
Right on this part write "reduce wheel hop"
I buy trailing arms and toe rod.
So let's see what happens after install it.

If it's only started happening since a tyre change I'd guess it's a tyre issue rather than a suspension component issue. Maybe go back to the tyre shop and ask for them to check the tyres for eccentricity and also re-check your alignment. Eliminate the obvious before throwing money at the issue.

That was the first thing I did.
They balanced it twice and always showed the same weight in the same place in two services.

I think I couldn't do more for it.
I'm a perfectionist. Before I handed the wheels to a tire service, I removed all the old weights, removed remnants of double-sided adhesive tapes,
I cleaned all, degreased and with the new tires and new TPMS units take to the tire service.
And checking the geometry of the entire car was also fine. I don't know what next to do





It really looks like BMR Rear Toe Rods offers a solution.
I also bought their Trailing Arms, so I'll see what changes.

The BMR parts are home, so we'll see what changes will happen.

Yesterday I completed a light rebuild of the rear axle by visiting a service to adjust the geometry and I was to test the car.





I am completely satisfied with the result of BMR's work.
The car behaves much better than before.
Finally I don't have a hula hoop dancer anymore, but Camaro

So... there is no reason why not to go back to BMR for next upgrade.
A very good product for me.

When you get rid of the wheel hop and dial in the suspension these cars handle fantastic. If you need more adjustability, look at SPC. They make rear toe and camber eccentric bolts that add another degree of adjustment.
