Default Need Alignment suggestions please

Ok so I am about to order a non staggered tire and wheel setup and new front sway bar. I have been to the track with the car and experienced more oversteer than I would like. Mainly this was on throttle application and seemed more on corner entry than exit if I remember correctly. I don't know my current specs for alignment as they are written down at home. But I will provide some info to help you guys make some suggestions

Currently ordering Enkei PF01 17x9 non staggered wheels with Nitto 255 NT05 tires (Not R comps) and a whiteline 30mm non adjustable front sway bar.

The car in question is a MY 2005 with BC racing single adjustable coil overs with 12k front 10k rear springs. Only other suspension mods will be the stuff I am ordering. Holdng off on camber adjustment kits for now.

I drive the car about 12,000 miles a year and do track days any chance I get. (hopefully once a month). I do have concern for tire wear from toe settings but nothing to major. Just would like to find a good balance between handling and wear on the rear tires. I prefer the car to handle as neutral as I can with what I have to work with. Hopefully I can dial out some of this over steer. I don't mind running lots of camber as long as it is doable with the setup I will have. Please feel free to offer up any suggestions!

With that being said alignments are sorta subjective. Im running no rear bar. Front 0 toe 4deg castor now and -2.7 camber. Id like more. Need camber joints. Rear toe is a matter of dissention. Im running 1/4 total toe in. -2.2 camber. Would like to have more.

Yeah I looked in that thread but unless I was in the wrong place I didn't find much. My main concerns are caster and toe. . Is that 4deg of caster you are running the max you could get with that camber? Seems most people prefer around 6 caster?
