I want to go ahead and toe out my rear tires, and maybe the front tires when I get an alignment in a couple of weeks.

Here's my current setup (used for daily driving and AX)

2002 Accord Sedan 4cyl (~3100lbs)
205/60-15 Yoko ES100s
19mm rear swaybar (looser than 16mm stock)
Camber adjustable front UCAs

~3.2* caster (can possibly increase to 3.8*)
-0.7* front camber (max)
-0.5* rear camber (not adjustable)
0.0" front toe
1/16" rear toe in (it used to be 0 until I got a free alignment when doing frame repair)

I will have the rear trailing arm mounting point marked with white paint so I can alternate between 0" rear toe and X/X" rear toe out with ease (so my mom or dad won't accidentally drift the car if they borrow it).

It would look like this:



Should I maybe try -1/16" total toe out up front, and -1/8" total toe out in the back?

The car already is kind of loose when I brake while turning, but I'm learning to control my braking now that I installed the bigger rear sway. The car doesnt plow as much as it used to, but I'm sure the toe settings can only help, right?

Will I notice a difference between 0" front toe and -1/16" front toe out on the street? I'd hate for the car to lose it's nice highway stability...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I'm consistently running about 40-42psi up front, and usually about 40 in the rear...

 

my recommendation:
try it.

you'll learn a lot more from trial and error than someone telling you what's best for you and your driving. I tried using a recommended setting and found it to be horrible for my driving style.

just a thought

 

Alright, I'll try -1/16" front, and -1/8" rear.

I think the smart thing to do in the rear is to mark off numerous settings, like -1/16" out, along with 0 and -1/8", so I can play with all 3, and not have to go back to the shop eveytime...

 

I'd leave it at zero up front, and just try a 16th of toe out in the rear first.

Later on, after some trial and error you could try the fronts.
