I can see how the cradle bushings and lockout kit could make a difference, but I can say with 100% certainty, that tires make a huge difference. With equal air pressure front to rear, my car has always been solid. On or off the strip. When I have my pressures drastically different like you need at the strip, I get a little wag that doesn't feel great, but I'm comfortable with. Now when I bolt on my new 17" rear drag radials, the car is very scary feeling, even with air pressure equalized. Put the stockers back on, and it's back to normal.

I'll start at 32/32 and see what happens. What pressures are you running in the street?

I'm usually at 32 front and 29-30 rear on the street

Mine does the same thing. I believe the electronic differential is a big reason why this happens. The car is fighting for traction and that subtle wiggle (as opposed) to the typical sideways shuffle is how it manifests itself.
It sure is scary if it happens and you’re not ready for it.

that low in the rear. For dig racing or that's what the car like up top?

Oh Wow . . . I'm running 44 psi on all four corners on stock tires. It came from the dealership like this and I've kept it like that.

If I know I'm going to do some digs, I drop it even more. At least to the manuals 26 recommendation. Just everyday driving, I run the 29 to 30 because the lower pressure adds a little grip, and it still handles good.

I agree. For some reason it multiplies significantly with my 17" drag radials. Their super soft and taller sidewalls adds to it, I'm sure. Would solid bushings or the lockouts cure it? I'd certainly hope so, but any reduction in the wag would be a huge welcome. I'll do one of the two at some point and find out.

I can't add too much at this point since I don't have the car anymore but I did find the original PDR video that shows me trying to pass on a two lane highway and getting squirly. |

If it’s not traction then I’m gonna go with the way the electronic diff slips the clutches to keep the car going straight or to maintain the line during a turn (if it senses steering input).
I think this is just one of those things that these cars will be known for with no resolution.
