Default How much caster should I dial in?

.. with the SPC caster/camber arms?

Setup:
'97 2-door
H&R OE sport springs (1/2" lower, ~40% stiffer)
Koni yellows
ST sways on order
ES100 tires
Looking for Superpro bushings

Goals: (in this order)
Fun to drive on twisties
Quicker turn-in
Decent trip
Neutral handling (i.e. I hate understeer)
A wee bit of throttle lift oversteer

TIA

Caster wont really affect the handling much at all.

2-3 degrees negative camber in the front is great for handling. I wouldn't go higher than that unless it's a race-only car.

To get rid of some understeer, the rear sway bar is very important. Bigger is better.
