Message and my suspension has been sitting in piece all over my garage floor for about a month now because it's taking so damn long to get those things out. i had to ship some suspension parts out to JWT to get the bushings pressed out. the subframe bushings are difficult because they are so big that it's difficult to press them out without damaging the subframe, so it's better to slowly cut them out with a hacksaw... so, it's very slow going since you don't want to accidentally cut the subframe. just to give you an idea of how difficult it is, even SGP won't do them!
labor costs are typically $700-1000.

new shocks may help. i've heard reports of people using the hardest setting on tokico's and drag radials to get rid of some of the wheelhop (but not all of it). shocks are $60 each for stock replacements and about $100 each for tokicos.

traction control systems range from around $650 to $1250. this will help the most with your wheelhop, as you can completely eliminate any wheelspin whatsoever if you want (but that would decrease acceleration because you want 8-10% wheelspin for maximum acceleration... luckily you can dial in exactly how much wheelspin you want with the Racelogic system). check out the Racelogic website... [ www.racelogic.co.uk ] and feel free to e-mail me for pricing or more info.
