That rear sub-frame has a ton of movement.

I am curious to see the improvement on the sub-frame movement with the Z1 sub-frame collars installed+this mod. My diff bushing is shot and I dont have the time or money right now to to replace them. I did however get some Z1 sub-frame collars for Christmas and installed them on Monday and definitely noticed the rear doesnt shake as much as it used to. Will be doing this mod sometime next week thanks again to the OP for the info!!

When you say "shake" do you mean wheel hop under during a hard launch?

If possible, please post your results. I cam curious to see what you noticed.

Ive never really launched the car hard so I cant say if it improved wheel hop. But before the Z1 subframe collars I could really feel the rear end shake coming out of 1st gear from a stop, I assumed this was because my diff bushing is totally shot but after installing the subframe collars the rear end hardly shakes as much as before when coming out of 1st gear. Overall the car feels much more solid with the subframe collars especially when shifting at a high rpm the car just feels more buttoned down.

I have the SPL bushings sitting on my work bench. I have to wait before I install them. I have to build some strength up in my arm. It's only about 20%.
