Fixed my rear instability at WOT

I read about this quite a bit so I wanted to chime in. My stock car has 30K miles and the rear would always squat and wiggle at WOT even on the highway. It felt very unsafe. I guess I attributed it to wheel spin due to 640hp going thru only two wheels. I mitigated it by rolling into the throttle, as I would at lower speeds when wheel spin would really the a problem.

In any case the steering wheel was a hair off center and the car has brand new tires, so I figured I'd get an alignment to make sure I get the best life out of them. These tires aren't cheap! Well the toe was out on all four corners. Now the car feels 99 percent more confident when I go WOT from highway speeds. Very little squat (to be expected) and zero wiggle in the rear. Make sure you have them give you the before/after printout so you know they didnt half ass it. Of course my local shop charged a "V tax" for my alignment.

I'm getting my shocks checked as we speak. This is some great news. Can you post the alignment specs? I've got booty twerk like crazy and have been chasing it.
