Some of you were interested in the rear active toe thing I mentioned last night, so here's a link with some information on it:

On a side note, what are the advantages of having an active toe link for regular driving?  I am assuming that it helps with cornering?

The advantage to the stock way is that it makes the car understeer so much that it practically takes a supernatural act or some really ham-fisted driving to spin an AWD DSM on dry pavement. This makes Joe Average driver feel safer because the car feels more stable and less out of control during spirited driving, but in reality it reduces the maximum cornering force of the car.
