Anyway, I wanted to share with you guys this scan from Doriten of the modified rear spindles that Team Evolution uses on their cars:
I noticed the toe arm position being moved; does the Driftworks one do that too?
If someone wants the hi-res/4mb file, I can email it.

What they're doing there is the same thing the JIC team (and that S15 that KA-turbo posted) does. They're cutting off the toe and coilover mount and re-welding them lower. This makes the toe arm parallel with the lower control arm and corrects your toe curve when really low.
I think they move the coilover mount just so they don't have to max out the lowness on the coilover.
The lower control arm ball joint might be a little lower there too. This would correct roll center a hair.
Just a side note, but that lower control arm that they "made" looks janky.
