It will be interesting to see what you get.
It would be an undesirable characteristic if the rear wheels did indeed toe out during braking...as that would make the rear less stable.

With 0.10' toe in on each rear wheel (total 0.20') you are nearly at the maximum of the stock total rear toe spec of 0.22' toe in.
I have 0.04' on each side of my (road car use only) M3 and that works really well for spirited driving even on very bumpy country roads.
Maybe might be worth trying something similar? Might help the car turn in a bit easier?
