Haven't been able to put it through its paces yet since we put it on, not enough time to just get to drive it yet. I'll be sure to let you guys know in the next few days, however.

they remove some of the slop in the rear suspension and will help eliminate some of the possible wheelhop that you may get in your fd

We did order the solid differential mounts, I'm sure that'll help eliminate drivetrain flex in the rear.

Very good topic guys...makes me want to get the links. but was the care really giving that much hop? or did you just want to add something nice to the suspension of the car?

We were getting a "clunk" from both trailing arms (bushings were shot) and the car indeed did hop A LOT on a hard launch. Edit: The new ones definitely got rid of any flex the rear wheels had, that's for sure.
