Default Toe In Vs Out Experiences

Oh hai

I'm in bad need of an alignment on my GC since having done my 6 speed conversion and have been trawling through threads and whatnot to garner as much knowledge as I can from it. Where I'm living I don't have access to the likes of John Fowler type gurus, but I have a friend who manages a tyre joint and is willing to put any kind of alignment I wish on my car.

What I've found from reading different threads is that some schools are pro toe in on the rears, to allow for dynamic shift in a wrx, while some opt for toe out on the rear to induce better turn in response. The cons seem to be that toe in will make the car a bit soft at low speed, while toe out will make it pretty sketchy at high speeds, and potentially induce big oversteer when emergency brake/turn, increasing the likelihood of the back pulling out.

So I'm looking for peoples experiences with both, or one or the other, to then apply what I think would be best for my own alignment. At this stage I'm looking to hit around -1.5 camber both front and rear, with maybe just a small amount of toe in on the rears on a GC with close to every adjustable component available, ultimately just a street car that doesn't feel washy when pushed.

Any thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
