Installed the GP Sports "rear traction member collar" aka the "traction mod" that reduces the rear anti-squat for a more compliant suspension and better ability to put power down. Initial testing on the street says it does all of that very well! The car rides better and seems to settle into the road better on corner exit. There's a particularly bumpy intersection I drive every day that I couldn't accelerate out of hard on stock tires even in 2nd gear and now it just squats and goes. I can actually use first gear now without totally roasting the stock rear tires too on regular roads, so that's a marked improvement. Definitely curious how it does in performance driving!





I also installed the Perrin 16mm rear swaybar and made some DIY end links that I offset using some round tube and washers to fine tune the alignment to not bind the joint nor have the end link hit the control arm. Nothing too exciting to report here, but definitely excited to test these changes. I actually installed the end links last week and drove to work with the OEM rear bar all week, the non-OEM rear end links also seemed to make the car ride better, go figure not being all bound up helps a lot with ride quality.
