hvnt read everything but there's one thing i wanna point out about toe
your description of toe in vs out for stability isnt exactly correct.
toe out is a technically more stable setup because when one tire loses traction, the vector the grippy tire has carves a turn which shifts weight back towards the tire which originally lost traction. Imagine this, your car is setup toe out and you're driving in the rain. Your right front tire hits a patch of oil and loses traction, since the left front tire now has more grip and is arcing left, the car initiates a slight left turn. This turn shifts weight to the right side of the car increasing the grip of the right tire, thus stabilizing itself.
the above condition only applies to the front wheels. toe in is a technically more stable setup for the rear wheels (especially so for rwd vehicles as this is one of the easier ways to prevent excessive power oversteer)
