The guys I went to are pro, and when I say pro, I mean they are no joke, and mainly setup track porsches etc
The guy I go to is also very good, he setup a couple of big time winning cars apparently. I'm not sure where your settings are, i looked at your journal and didnt find much in the way of a setup, just some camber settings.

Rear toe: +0.10

I'm not the world's expert on all this but here are my thoughts...

I have less front negative camber, but I get more front roll-induced camber because I set the caster +1 over stock to 6.0. I like the higher caster angle b/c it helps hold straight track with a neutral to slight toe-out setting. I may toe-out front a hair to get quicker turn-in response and scale back understeer, but it is pretty much fine now and appropriate considering stock bushings create some minor compliance and toe-out under acceleration. I have modest rear toe-in now and will probably have that dialed to neutral or slight toe out next time around... Some rear toe out would be appropriate to help balance out understeer tendancy and more if you like to hang it out... as you mention tire life is tradeoff on toe settings.
I will take this into account too. I am going to ask him what he thinks I should do as well and go from there. I'll let you guys know what I end up with tomorrow. I'm not going to lower the front any more, just taking the rear up a notch so its even with the front. I know it could "look" more aggressive, but suspension travel is good on track...
