CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

Also experienced the rear end float recently. 3rd gear, onramp on to highway, not WOT but moderate throttle input and the rear end was dancing around a bit.

Any other feedback from folks who either ordered the SPL arms and/or had an alignment done?
 
I installed the SPL toe arms and had my car aligned. That seemed to solve the problem. Before that, it was getting all crazy wonky under hard acceleration (in a straight line) in 3rd and 4th gear.

I do notice that if you have the suspension set to TOUR/SOFT, the car is a little more darty because the soft suspension setting allows for a lot of weight transfer to the rear under hard acceleration, taking traction away from the front wheels. Setting the suspension to 50% firm seems to solve that issue...

Ok I am ordering those tonight! It can't hurt, right?
