Just have to be careful of the linkage geometry, because you can get the exact opposite effect you want. BTW it also increases the toe in on the inside wheel.

I couldn't tell from your pictures where or how you connected the inside link to the chassis; would explain that? Thanks
If you look at the photos you should be able to see how I installed a ball stud upside down on the rear bulkhead's forward most screw hole. I also chose the older style 3 hole steering knuckle.

I still haven't tested on the track.

I'd need to install softer rear springs or drill holes in the arms to mount the shocks out where they do on the standard rear arm setup
