Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. Sweep gives more castor as the car rolls, so when I say "gets into the corner better" I mean it has more steering and rotation as the car gets towards the apex.
This discussion interest me, why would you set your toe using the suspension mount instead of using your steering linkage? What is your final toe on the front of the car?

I was planning to set mine up with the following:
front toe +2
front camber -1.5
2 holes damper with soft oil and medium spring

rear toe -4
rear camber -1.5
3 holes damper with soft oil and soft spring

The track I race in is medium size track in Adelaide, half technical half speed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
