Yoshi, why do you have your rear toe at zero? DId you have too much oversteer?

when the dealer first put it up on the rack, the rears were set at toe-in from the factory. I was recommended a zero toe set up in the rear by local autox legend, Tom Smith. This set up has worked out very nicely for me

It really depends on what kind of turning behavior you like with your car.

A safe approach would be front zero toe and rear toe in (factory spec). If you want to be more aggressive (consider you have the required skill level), run zero or toe out in the rear to get a little more oversteer when exiting a turn.

Personally I run zero toe front and rear, but I also have camber adjustments so there're more variables in the equation. (camber: -2 front, -2 rear) After some more testings, I would know if I need to dial out my rear camber to 1.5.
