Default Toe in the rear?

Has anyone adjusted the rear wheels to toe in? As we all know the S2 has a wicked oversteer, especially in the rain, I assuming that it's due to the short wheel-base. The NSX has a slight toe in, I think if it's done in the S2 it could be quite benificial. Anyone agree?

I'm pretty sure there is already a fair amount of toe-in present in the factory alignment specs. It's one of the reasons the rear tires wear as fast as they do.

As far as oversteer in the rain goes, slow down.

If you're using a stock setup, I'd stay with the stock alignment for toe. You could go to the most toed-in if you're nervous. Most folks seem to use 1/8"-1/4" toe-in for the rear unless they have suspension mods (big-ass front swaybar, etc.).
