Its the amount of 'steer' that the rear wheels alignment is giving. You want  zero, i.e. same toe left and right.

I run stock settings on my ed30 and it handles great. Fast road setup would be adding a bit of extra neg camber on the front. Which would need adjustable top mounts. Or modify the lower arm carriers to allow more movement.
