Wheelhop - next step

[ako12345]

Hi,

I have 2016 european version GT (it means PP without torsen). I made following changes to the rear suspension: BMR Billet Aluminum Vertical Links - Spherical Bushings, SR Performance IRS Tie Down Kit, Steeda IRS Subframe Alignment Kit. I also have BC RS43 Forged Wheels with Michelin PSS.

The wheelhoop is significally reduced, but still present especially with middle throttle and wet road. What should be next step ? I'm thinking about: https://www.americanmuscle.com/ftb-irs-low-control-arm-bearings-2015.html.

Is this good idea or just waste of money? Or any other ideas ?

I would swap out the imitation SR tie down kit and install BMR's CB005 cradle lockout. Then I would install either BMR or Steeda rear lower control arm bearing. I have the Steeda one but both should function just as well. Another idea is to get a differential lockout kit, either BMR or Steedas, take your pick.

The deflection in the cradle and the control arm is what is causing most of the wheelhop I think.

The RLCA bearing is an overlooked piece. After installing it your car will feel completely different. No more vague feeling in the rear. Your car will experience NVH from this though. So be ready to feel everything.
