Consider toe in a bit lower, towards the 0.02-0.03" range on the rears.

People will say "for track work more toe will help turn in", but for track work you "buy tires for each race".

Actually I just toss em when they get to 50%....

I'm kidding of course, but pointing out the 'tension' between a perfect track setup and a optimized for tire life setup. Minimal toe for longest life.

the locking plates go on the eccentrics that are the stock way of adjusting toe...unfortunately, they do not hold adjustment very well...especially under track loads...the plate locks the eccentric so the toe adjustment doesn't change because of movement in the eccentric

You are more courageous than I to take a dremel to your car! You must have a steady hand because it came out very nicely. Good job.
