Presumably your thinking is that you can quicken the steering by fitting the yokes with increased offset but then lower the rear (or raise the front) until this restores the steering speed to its former level .. in the hope that this results in better rear end grip.
I'm afraid that my knowledge goes no further than yours on this, but I agree that it all sounds logical.
On the other hand, I am not aware of this being a commonly used method of achieving your desired result (but that may just be down to my personal lack of experience).
It might be worth a try but I think I would be more inclined to look at the operation of the rear suspension first, to deal with rear grip issues .. but again my knowledge is more theoretical than from practical experience.

As Flip said, a link to your "lack of rear grip" thread would be useful.

Its interesting to learn that the SS yokes have greater offset though.
I might even be curious enough to get hold of a pair to experiment with, just for the sake of furthering my chassis knowledge.
