you reduced caster. it does prevent the car from driving itself, you can dial it back some to change the feeling but if you can learn to control it, its way better doe drifting.
Dont toe out, and do a real alignment...that will help the stability

You need to balance the caster and wheel position with the top plate (forward) and the tension rod longer (back) so that the shock is more vertical but the wheel is still centered. I sell all the stuff to do this.

yup you got to get it dialed, there is a middle ground to be found here.
