Snapping off the throttle in a hard turn will induce oversteer.

If I get in a turn a little too hot and am getting understeer, I will snap off the throttle to cut speed and do induce an even slide... my setup is not very tail happy (stock springs, cusco rear adj bar on firm, whiteline endlinks)

How much of a difference can you feel from the shifter bushings? The transmission seems a touch notchy out of the box.

The shifter bushing are a plus. Reduces some of the slop that you have in the stock bushings. But what really helped the tranny was changing fluid to syn. redline shock proof lightweight.

The exhaust hangers are just stiffer and keep things in check and tight.
