Well I would start with zero toe both front and rear, that's what I'm using as of now...
We did try the toe out route in the front two years ago with not so good results. Keep in mind that year I had the suspension too low and nothing was working good. The car did not want to pivot and pushed a lot. I can't remember how much toe out we had, but it wasn't much but the car's steering was hard to work with. It turned in real good but was so hard to get it to go back the other way; you constantly had to fight with it. The problem was so bad that if you left the wheels turned a bit and let go of the steering wheel the car would continue to turn in the direction the wheels were pointing. Normally the steering wheel should try to re-center itself.
Once I get this new suspension going (STaSIS Motorsport) and I feel happy with the results and if I see I need more turn in or more oversteer then perhaps I'll explore the toe situation all over again. But knowing what the PSS9 did in last year's configuration with 514 lbs springs in the front and 628 lbs springs in the rear, I don't think I want to change too many parameters on the adjustments that I already know work.
Don't forget on the STaSIS kit my front springs are now rated at 700 lbs and the rears are going up to a whopping 1200 lbs. If this doesn't get the car to oversteer or pivot, nothing will.
