my 03 coupe has been spinning out

It did it 2x so far in the rain while i was going straight. Both times the rear end kicked out and the car spun. My alignment is ok and the car doesnt really pull when its dry. Ive already gone urethane on the front LCAS and will be installing SPL solid compression rod bushings.

What else can i do for the rear? What bushings can i swap out to urethane? I ordered a set of Hankooks this morning. Ill also be replacing the rear wheel bearings before i get a fresh alignment.

Check air pressure on both rears. Also do you have VLSD? sounds like you might not.

Yes the tire preassures are good and I do have the VDC. Im thinking there might be some bad bushings in the rear suspension. Im trying to find a diagram for what is replaceable. I know whiteline offers kits but i dont want to get anything that isnt needed. Im thinking rear control arms and maybe subframe.

I too have this problem, when I smash hard and pop the clutch for a quick shift, my rear spin out of control like I only feel one tire spinning in the rear as I quickly shift from first to second gear. Is it because we don't have LSD that's why only one tire pushes more wheel power than another which cause the car to go out of control? Please help us!

I just noticed that the Whiteline bushings have a metal sleeve around them and the ES dont. Also how hard is it to swap out the subframe bushings. I know on my S14 they were a PITA.
