camber?

I'm not sure, but I think running more agressive camber on your front tires would increase cornering grip for the front, so the balance of grip would make it seem like your rear end is easier to break loose.

It really depends on how the camber changes as the suspension compresses.
For some cars, there is very little change in camber as the suspension compresses, so they run a lot of static camber. That is: Lots of camber at ride height. You see the Honda guys doing this a-lot.
For other cars, they gain a lot of camber when you corner, so you set it up with maybe 0-0.5 degrees of static negative camber. That way when the suspension compresses, and the car rolls, you keep a good patch of rubber on the ground.
It is somewhat hard to explain w/o some sort of visual aid, and i'm not sure exactly how the FC's suspension behaves. Those are the basics.
If you want to drift, unless you're already pretty good at it, you're not going to notice any profound differances due to how you set the car up.
