Aside from forward traction, how exactly does this affect side to side load transfer?

Thanks for sharing this. I think if we're all discussing our results then we can come together and share ideal setups.
I think what you're experiencing is exactly the things that less anti-squat would do. Does the car have sway bars on it? Sway bars affect side to side and front to rear loading more than most people think.
Side to side loading is definitely affected as the car squats more, it only makes sense that the car is more sensitive to loading the outside rear tire in drift. I think this is part of the reason people can get away with not having a sway bar(s) on S13's and why you tend to see them on S14/15's. Toe out is standard in bump on the s-chassis, and since your drop knuckles keep the factory kinematics, they still have this quality. I'm very interested to see if the wisefab kit I have maintains or changes this. I'll have answers soon.
Here are some interesting shots of the setup on Odi Bakchis' S15 (sorry for the poor quality zoomed screenshot):
And his S13.4 practice car (looks like he's using a cheap toe arm clevis welded to the bottom of the subframe itself):
You can see that the front pickup for the RLCA is dropped even farther than stock S14/15, it would seem to the limit allowed by FD.
