i was hoping you would chime in! im not sure if its the rear toe, but now it seems if i make a sudden turn at a higher speed, that the rear end keeps moving over for a split second.... any body fealt something like that?

Rotation, aka oversteer. Where you can walk the rear around a bit more to help with tight turning in AX and tracking.
Could be too low of pressure in the rear tires. That might give you that sensation as the tire patch moves. Try 32/32 then go up and down in the rear until you get it to something you like.

I have the swift spec-r with RCA & camber plates rotated with stock shocks.
I set my front to -2 camber , 0 toe. Caster ended up being -4
Rear I tried to max out and all I got is -1.1 camber with about 1/32 toe in.
The car felt great in the dry & wet at the track. I did not really notice much understeer at all. Initial turn in does feel a little jerky though...need to learn how to smooth out the initial steering input.

Camber: Because the shop I went to messed up my alignment on Friday PM, and I was going to track on Monday am. Had to fix alignment on my garage floor Sunday pm and after raising the car 50 times up and down, I just wanted to sides to be equal as I had enough. Doing the rear is a big pain using camber plates & camber level gauge on a regular garage floor especially that changing toe messes up the camber and vice versa. Can't do it as easily as the front where you set camber then just do toe. In back, set camber, then set toe, re-measure, and the camber is messed up due to toe change (or vice versa).
I actually liked these settings... I may not mess with them unless I feel I'd want the car to behave differently.
