stablizing and stiffing rear end? Hello yall. I been noticing that the rear end is not so stable at the track our when acclerating aggresivly. The rear end just feels wobbly. What parts can i add too stiffen and stablize the rear end? It feels if the rear end is swaying slightly side to sdie.
I already have SFC LCA and lca relocation brackets and a STB.
Thanks

Without being sure of what you're after, it's hard to offer suggestions. However, if it's wheel hop, some lower control arm relocation brackets and/or beefier lower control arms will help. If everything's flexing around, a torque arm might help. Or if you've got lots of rattles and such, maybe some subframe connectors.

Lower PHR(BMR makes a nice upper also), and a rear sway bar will fix it. I just did a Wolfe weld in rear drag(anti-roll)bar, and couldn't believe the difference it made in the rear end stiffness. With the SFC's, lower PHR, LCA's & brackets, the Wolfe bar, and the Wolfe 6 point on an otherwise "stock" suspension.... my car effectively has the ride of say a model 1860's stagecoach
