If you maximize the Caster equally (side to side) the steering will have as much low speed "feel" that the alignment can effect. You should have 6.5 to 7degrees of caster with the adjusters maxed.

Increased low speed steering effort and increased high speed stability come with the high caster setting.

I think I am getting used to it now. The ride feels a bit stiffer than when I first had the suspension change so guess my sensitivities is picking up.

Just be aware aggressive camber and toe settings will result in even faster tire wear than at stock ride height and alignment settings.

Just came back from a 100mph rip on a smooth stretch, feels awesome with a good alignment and the stiffer lower ride, just awesome, I love this car again.
