That’s great to hear... at some point (if I decide to track) I’ll do the same mods. Thanks for the feedback!!

Nice work! I can imagine that it effects the steering when initiating turns and then when you get on the throttle coming out of a turn. I haven't raced mine yet but maybe someday...

sorry to dreg up an old thread, but surprised you can run a vert on a road course - most groups / tracks around here won't allow that without a 4-6 point roll bar. Does you car have one?

I do like the idea of stiffening up the rear cradle - I can feel the play back there on the street, but I am used to track cars and track oriented street cars. As long as it doesn't add much NVH, seems like a no-brainer.

I'm on stickier and larger tires than stock SS, so that also shows the weakness more because the tires have more grip than the stock set-up did. 295-35-19 PSS

The $500 doesn't scare me too much and I would do the install. Seems that is the biggest bang for buck in removing slop from the rear end design eh?

is this the kit? $372 isn't bad. About what I expected. This plus the GMPP lowering kit can be had from SD for under $1500 shipped.

I do have a 4-point roll bar structure. Since the install, I never have been denied track time. I typically am on SS 1LE OEM size SC3/3R/R7 rubber all around. Although during winter, the car sits on the stock RF's.

Yes, that's the kit...
