Besides, with the toe-in as far as it is (in the rear), the shocks are at a vertical front-to-rear angle. Reducing toe-in will bring the tires a little further back and make the shocks align better.
Well, I created my own rear toe plate out of some 6061-T6 yesterday. The stock plate is steel, so I hope the aluminum version holds up. My version is not as pretty, but I definitely like the way it looks better; the a-arms are not as swept forward, less rear shock angle (front-to-rear), pushes the rear tires back about 4-5mm, and decreases the toe-in. The hinge pin holes were moved in a hair less than 2.5mm on each side.
