This is how mine was set-up by Centre of Gravity on the standard suspension:
Front:
Left: Toe: zero, Camber: -0°57', Caster: +6°20', Corner weight: 309kg
Right: Toe: zero, Camber: -0°57', Caster +6°19', Corner weight: 300kg
Rear:
Left: Toe +0°25', Camber: -1°31', Corner weight: 331kg
Right: Toe +0°25', Camber: -1°30', Corner weight: 311kg
Total weight (which includes 9kg of additional fuel ballast, as tank was below half): 1251kg
The UK settings for the cars normally have a lot of rear toe, which makes the car more stable initially (inducing understeer), but gives the car a worse snap oversteer when the limit is reached. Having less toe makes it less stable (more keen to over-steer), but the break-away when this happens is more progressive.

Please could I ask you to educate me and explain why lots of rear toe makes the (snap) oversteer worse when the limit is reached?

00-03 have higher rear roll center and also have an excessive dynamic rear toe in'/out in compression & rebound in certain conditions.
= uncontrollable when over the limit.
A near parallel rear on an 04+> is more of a neutral 4 wheel controlled drift,and with good rubber is nice,on a staggered wheel set up.
Driving style also differ muchly ,as do the cars config, wheel stager ,spring rates ect ect..
