Grip is pretty high there so ... less rear toe in.
As for the front end , sweeping the arms back makes the car turn in harder. Mostly used on pavement but could be a bit twitchy on carpet. I wouldn't sweep the front arms forward for any reason.
I believe thats because it changes the shock position angle which in turn is like moving the top in more, or like splitting a shock spring weight. Once you do a arm sweep and move the upper shock in all the way, its time to go to a harder spring and start at a neutral setting agian till you get you prefered feel for the track.
