Both the standard and outboard braked rears on ERA cars like 1/16" of toe-in per side. The standard rear is not adjustable for toe, so you have to just cross your fingers that the LCAs give you zero or a hair of toe. The outboard braked rears are adjustable for toe. I never heard the "wanting to toe-out" on acceleration thing. Remember though that the outboard braked rear has an angled-in trailing arm up at the top of the upright as well.
