The 2nd Gen RX-7 has rear wheel steering. The rear wheels will steer into a turn at high speeds. The toe steer eliminator will bolt in where the rear steer bushings are. Some people don't like the rear steer feeling or they want "better" control during racing. Personally I like the rear wheel steering system. Mazda put 10 patents on the 2nd Gen's rear suspension alone.

I'm glad I put my DTSS eliminator bushings in. Car feels more predictable during cornering. You'll need a press or a large vise and some large deep sockets to remove and install them.

handles, much nicer when the dtss eliminator bushings are in. for all the drifter wannabes, you need these eliminator bushings if you want a good slide.

The toes elminators are great if your bushings are already worn out. They help a lot in those cases.
Or if you do actually take your car up to the 9/10ths of its performance potential (which very very few ever do on the street), and you are un-accustomed to the toe shift, there again the toe replacements are probably a good choice.
But if your existing bushings are in good condition, and you are a poor to fair to good driver, the stock bushings will allow you to corner at higher speeds with more stability.
