I will admit that all of our cars have spun out and gone off track. However, my alignment was off even after a track day where I had not gone off or spun out. I just don't bother getting the car aligned anymore.

Both toe and camber get out of whack. I know some guys are getting the SPL LCA with rear toe lockout feature, which I think was designed to address this issue?
Correct. There are several arms on the market that will get loose, and lose their alignment, and when you change camber, you also change toe in the rear. Spins/offs MAY make the front camber bolts slip, but should not affect the rear AT ALL, unless you're bending something.

I highly recommend the SPL stuff.

On the flip side, we haven't had any slippage issues on our shop BRZs, and we're on all OEM stuff, except for the dampers.
