I agree, using brake bias is extremely useful in controlled slides.
The mentioned technique will turn an understeer situation (personally dislike)
into an oversteer situation (oooohh YEAH, BABY!) almost immediately.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Q right now - but those handbrake cables are
getting their workout!
