Hey Avalnch! That alignment looks pretty great for an aggressive Autox setup. The Toe Out in the rear may contribute to some pretty hairy oversteer conditions at high autox speeds, so if you're chasing oversteer issues that cant be tuned around via tire pressures you might want to look at dialing back your Rear Toe.

The Rake of the car does absolutely have an effect on the chassis, and with coilovers is one more useful fine tuning tool at your disposal. The biggest effect you had when raising the rear of the car probably wasn't the rake it's self, but the change in roll center by adjusting the rear only. There is a direct relation between roll center and how effectively the sway bars are able to work, it acts similarly to changing the hole on an adjustable sway bar, although has a much more subtle effect.

Now that the car is corner balanced, I wouldn't adjust the ride height much more. Instead I would focus on getting the car balanced using the tools at your disposal, sway bars, dampers, alignment and tires.
