If you haven't tried running less (a LOT less) rear toe-in, IMO you should! Seems to me it should be even better for autoX vs. road course.

My s2000 is stock, so soft springs probably exacerbate the handling wonkiness situation. But even with a properly set up stiffer car there should be benefits to not running so much rear toe.

I started out believing I had to run 1/4" (per recommendations in these forums) in the name of "stabilizing" the AP1, but experimentation changed my mind on that.

In the end it might be something of a driver preference thing, again if you haven't already I think it'd be worth your while to try running less to see what you think.
