In the cold the tires you picked are going to hop bad anyways.I would do the subframe connectors we talked about with some LCa's. Wouldn't waste a penny on the rear till you put in the other rear. But no matter what you do right now it will probly still hop.The tires don't like the cold weather.

cold nittos and cold roads = hop central. LCA's will help but not untill the warmer weather will it be that noticable.
the brackets help but as stated wait until you replce the rear as each company uses different brackets.
when ever you have more traction your car will feel slower also
