Gen II V8 Sport - replaced rear lateral toe links

[04_Sport_LS]

Picked up a set of the Lemforder non-passives. I'll add these to the install parts pile if I can ever find new rear lower spring isolators.

Been thinking about the passive rear steer,,, and it makes sense now why I haven't exactly trusted the LS in curves. Something never felt quite right to me. I have pushed the car... waiting for the rear to slide,,, but it never happened. The whole car just slid/drifted to the outside. Personally,,, I have always preferred a vehicle to have a bit of oversteer. If the backend starts to slide,,, I know how to correct that. If the front end starts to plow,,, I know how to correct that too. Neutral handling is a bit un-nerving to me.

Many people forget about tire pressure when it comes to this. That makes a huge difference including the amount of roll during acceleration. Because it's so close to 50/50, increasing tire pressure will make the whole car more responsive and limit the onset of yaw. This is up to a point. Naturally, going too high on the pressure will cause some traction loss. I just raised my pressure up to 45 psi in the rear and the difference is quite substantial. You might not want that on extremely rough pavement though.
