Rear Toe-In 2004 vs 2005

Noticed while looking in the Acura shop manual last night that the suspension alignment specs are different in the rear for toe-in.

2004 - 2 degrees
2005 - 0 degrees

Wonder if this was done to improve rear tire wear at the small sacrifice of some stability.

That's weird, i didn't know the '04 had toe in on the rear, usually they keep the toe up front, helps eliminate understeer.

The owner in the thread below claims he was having problems of excessive rear tire wear due to innappropriate toe in from the factory. However, he says this applies to both 2004/2005. I wonder if they updated the factory specs at some point for the 2005's ?
