The issue is when I disengage the traction control (light on dash comes on), its as though its still engaged.For example, if I take off in a straight line in 1st and start to break traction, the rear end shudders like the brakes are locking on and off, the same as when traction control is engaged. It does this for 2nd and 3rd aswell.If I am going around a corner and push it into a slide, I don't get the shudder. Only when in a straight line.The car is tuned to 320rwkw, but the issue was there before the tune and mods.Has anyone else experienced this? Or any ideas on what could be the issue?I have seen manual sedans sit on the spot and spin up. Lets just say it made for some embarrassment at the drags.

Whats the sort of life of the stock bushes? I imagine going for aftertmarket ones would be the best option.It's getting some new suspension soon so I'll do the bushes at the same time.It leaves a broken dotted line on the road when taking off hard, which is why I thought it could be traction control.
