i would say the adjustments should be with the brake... if you have to do something besides modulate the brake you've already done something wrong. lfb is a bandaid, a good one taht offers characteristics otherwise unavailable to a certain type of car layout. so you should already be doing the proper driving and lfb is just an enhacement to that. so i guess what i mean is you should already be going the proper speed or a little above the proper speed and made the proper speed modulations or steering angle corections with the amount of lfb applied, if you have to hit the accelerator more you'd either gonna mess up the balance you were trying to maintain wtih the lfb or you lfb too much and have to compensate which means you did something wrong.

I LFB on the track when I'm in a fast series of turns where I don't need to shift. The main advantage to me is that I can eliminate the "lurch" from the engine moving in the frame when going on/off throttle. This way I can drive closer to the limit of the tires and not loose it in a load transition.

It also gives you "anti-lag" since I'm (slightly) on the gas even while braking. The downside is it's very hard on your brakes, so you need adequate cooling, and be prepared to change brake pads often.

When road driving there's really no need to LFB (IMO), but I do it anyway to stay in practice .

i'd say it's best to practice on teh evo in a safe place. the evo's pedal is much more sensetive. altho i lfb in my room mate's civic and the oversteer is actually possible... amazing.
