Argh. I mis-spoke. I meant to say that you should dial the toe-IN out of
the rear and much of it out of the front.
The factory set-up is "safe", in the sense that the car locks onto
straight-ahead well and isn't terribly twitchy. The price, however, is
slower turn-in, more vague transitional response and tire wear.
For example, I've got the rear dialed to 0.0 and (quoting from memory)
the front at 1/32 toe-in. Rear tire wear is now very even and the car is
much more lively, though it wanders at bit more on rutted highways...
