what's optimal setting for rear axle control arms?

Hi
Car type is KE70
I just custom made the existing lower control arms to adjustables and the lateral control arm too.
The lower control arms were used to adjust the differential ANGLE so that it is aligned straight in-line with the prop shaft to the gearbox. However I couldn't match the left-right off-set angle, since the axle is off-set from center.
We used a string to wrap around all 4 wheels to check toe, axle left / right bias and found it off-set in reference to the front as much as 1 inch.
Anyway, we adjusted the lateral control arm to match the rear tracks to front tracks.
I would like to ask also regarding my rear axle bending? assuming car faces forward and we're in the car facing forward. My rear left is -0.1 camber - good, no problem here. However, to my dissapointment, my rear right is +0.2 camber.
My rear left also has a little toe in, as oopose to right, NIL.
Alright, I'll leave it here, hope someone can enlighten me on this.
BTW, I took it up a mountain road and found handling improvement on the same road with higher speed.
These are the only thing I've done but don't know what else are they good for?
Many thanks in advance.
