Generally in a straight line rear axle stability is not an issue under braking and when i'm trailbraking, I want the rear to come around, so I'm not really seeing the benefit. I'm no alignment expert, but I've been quite pleased with my setup as described above.
I am in total agreement.

I personally don't like toe out in the front, tested, my preference is no toe. Toe "in" in the front is for folks that want to take their hands off the wheel and talk on their cell phone.

For the rear - Some toe "in" makes your car planted on corner exit. I run zero in a Spec Box per Brad Roberts. No problem if you run a little toe "in" but I might be 1/3 a car ahead of you at the end of the straight or ... not.
