Slow in, fast out. Check rear toe and the amount of steering input you are giving. The car will rotate (step out) if you let off the throttle mid-turn, as all the weight transitions to the front and allows the rear to get light. This is not good (unless done on purpose).

I have that, but only when i take a turn hard( not hard enough for the rear end to actually kick out or engage VDC), my tires are stretched so i heard thats part of the problem.

My wheels were also out of alignment, so i got that fixed and it did help. But i do still get it when taking a turn hard (assuming because of the tires).

I had the same problem your describing and it ended up being my toe out of spec. Be sure to get print outs of your alignment specs.

Thanks for the help guys, I am thinking its a combination of my shocks being gone in the back, and the alignment cause taking this thing on an even ground free way...i get a hard pull to the right. So Tokico HP Blues and Tein S.Techs going in in two weeks and alignment two weeks after, will post all the alignment specs after that (hopefully I'll be able to get into spec with a very mild .6" drop)

for sure the big one in the center of your rear look right above the diff. This on is a common issue on our cars.

you can get the full solid rear bushings kit from SPL and do the 3 that are back there. SPL has very quality stuff and works great and lasts!

Ok so figured out that the rear diff bushing is completely blown, and by the looks of may have been that way for quite some time. Anyways, did a quick search and found that SPL and some other ppl make some solid bushings, so far found this on ebay, can anyone tell me if its worth it, or should I pay double (which i am not really wanting to do, for SPL brand name).

Thanks guys...

Solid aluminum is solid aluminum, the only thing to worry about is fitment, but that's pretty much everything on this part.
