I believe from what I have read that sidehop is basically a sway bar and linkage problem. The stock sway is undersized in the rear causing understeer and sidehop. I also believe the subframe bushings are prone to premature failure causing unwanted play in the car as a whole. This is symptomatic of most bushings on the car.
I don't really think of it as "sidehop", more like "loosey-goosey" in the rear. It's funny because on hard corners and flowing offramps, there is almost nothing wrong with the stock set up. It really is something awesome when I give it the business around a corner. I love the moments when I hit the "Advanced" button, downshift to fifth and take a nice flowing corner. It is just when I am on uneven surfaces it feels wheird at speed. (like cool whip).
I am also pretty trashed now because it is my birthday and I have an awesome car! And Swedespeed rocks! That is all.
