yes, in warmer weather the poly is softer. I can tell the difference just by touching it. It is now slightly flexible, and there is a little give when I press it with my finger. In the cold it was like a rock.

this shouldn't have an adverse effect on it's ability to resist wheelhop and drivetraine movement, it's just not as harsh a ride

I have yet to do a 3000 rpm clutch drop from a dead stop, but during "spirited" driving short of that so far, since getting this rear poly roll resistor installed along with the ES insert in front, it's been "Dude, where's my wheelhop?" The extra chassis vibration is no big deal on top of the hum from the headers.

wait, so this part eliminates wheel hop? How much labor is involved to swap this part? I'd have to have a mechanic do it cause im not very car savvy.

You can do it if you can turn a ratchet. It's literally 4 bolts. Lefty-loosey, righty-tighy. And it's exposed underneath the car, very easy to get to. But, if you insist, your mechanic should do it for 1/2 hour of labor. Maybe $20 if they like you. And it doens't eliminate wheelhop - it helps. My suspension is shot, so I still have it, but not as bad. It also causes more noise and vibration in the cabin. But, if you drive hard, and get wheelhop: get this.
