Toe Eliminator Bushings for drifitng

everyone that has taking a corner hard knows that the rx7 has understeer. i want to know from anyone that has installed the Toe Eliminator Bushings from mazdatrix. what were the effects on the understeer. i drift my car a lot. plus i like to autox. i like having a car that understeers and can break loose for drifitng. i dont want crazy oversteer. thanks in advance.

I dont know, because I am still drifting with the rear steer. My roomate installed his and said that the difference wasnt as pronounced as everyone claimed it would be.

I assume it would correct the wonderful snap oversteer that I get sometimes. This would allow me steeper angles on the track.

Search darnit, I've written paragraphes about the toe eliminators and how they lock the rear toe setting, nothing else, and how u need to reset the rear toe angle to dial in the correct understeer / oversteer situation. Front negative camber really helps when ur trying to make the FC get tail happy. There is a night and day difference in my FC's oversteer between the street and autocross settings on my front strut tower camber slots . .

If I were to enter a drift event I would want all my negative camber. Autocrosses with this car on street tires end up being mild drift events as it is.
