After the alignment, it'll feel soooo much better man.

I know most people resolve their issues on here and never really say what worked. So I just want to clear this up and say the correct answer lies above.
I got an alignment, and my caster was and still is around 6.4ish and my toe was slightly in, but pretty damn close for an eyeball alignment. However, producing a neutral to SLIGHT toe out, has brought the handling of this car to life!
People don't really ever talk about the SAK when it's installed either, so I just want to touch on driveability as well. Basically (as I assumed it would be) the steering response is very sensitive, and fast now. This is by no means any issue when it comes to the driveability, it's (imo) pretty great. However, if you drive on either a crappy track, or if you daily your car at all, be sure that you're hanging on to the wheel if you hit any bumps or pot holes. I won't say that the steering wheel FLIES out of your hands... but it definitely jerks around quite a bit. At low speeds (parking lots) I don't recommend "showing off" your
JDMTITE angle, because it just feels awkward. I personally would assume it's from the ackerman, it's more suited for medium-high speeds and of course SLIDING.
Sunday I'll be at the track testing it all out and I'll be sure to post a little more in regards to the PSM SAK and hopefully give some of the future purchasers out there a good idea of what they can expect when purchasing, installing, and driving.
