Nice set-up. 
You are going to be amazed at the difference in braking. I have the same basic set-up except with Racing Brake 2-pc Rotors and couldn't be happier with it! I even find myself braking later/harder just because I can... just have to make sure to watch your rearview mirror.

I agree completely with Tbau. Although, I also haven't left my VDC on for over a year. haha. It's way too intrusive for my liking.

^ I'll give you that... Couldn't agree more on the VDC being overly intrusive. The X is still plenty eager to get sideways in slick conditions... But, I'd rather be sideways and have control of what happens next vs. being sideways with a dead gas pedal.
We're supposed to get somewhere between 1-7". Me and my Pilot Super Sports will be spending the weekend in the garage.
Road crews have spread brine all over, which further diminishes traction. On the plus side, there is WAY less wheel hop with the whiteline rear differential bushings, so I have that going for me

I still don't know why you claim to get wheel-hop. It's been a few years now on 10" rears, so maybe I just don't remember what it was like.
On the plus side, being down south you can expect things the melt more quickly than we do up here. Sometimes we go through 2-3 months below freezing, and nothing melts. It just gets packed and icy.

Maybe it's the VDC? I recall you drive with it off, me with it on. And we're both on 275 rears. I cant imagine the .5" difference makes that big of a difference

I personally haven't noticed any hop with it on or off with my summers or winters, which is odd. I've had 225s(stock), 245s (current winter setup) and 285(summer).

I was thinking the same thing... I've had my G for over 8 years now and have never encountered any kind of wheel hop. The last car I owned where I had any noticeable wheel hop was my 1973 Opel GT that I had back in high school... oh and my '87 Firebird Formula would also wheel hop occasionally.
).I thought you were on staggered duckfeet? Guess not. If you have 9.5" wide rears with 275 PSS, VLSD, swaybars, etc.... doesn't make any sense why you're hopping. I wonder why that is, any thoughts? Don't take this wrong, but any chance you're misinterpreting the TC for wheel-hop?

Carry on, guys. I've done absolutely nothing to my car today, or in the last couple months.
