I'd zero the toe in the rear, or run a smidgen of toe-in. toe-out at higher speeds can be a bit loose, especially if you don't have much track experience.

A little toe in rear will make a CRX more stable. Short wheelbase car's don't like too much trailing throttle. Tends to make them oversteer. Can be useful IF you know what you are doing. Some toe out front makes the car turn in better. Will also make it wander more over truck ruts and other pavement irregularities.

I used to run an 1/8 total toe out front and either 0 or a hair toe out rear. 375/500 GC w/Koni OTS yellows and an ST rear bar set on medium on my 90 CRX
