Default Help! Suggestions for alignment specs

As the title says, I was looking for some suggestion on some alignment specs. I have stock suspension, tires, and I am going to install the anti-bumpsteer kit this weekend.

I usually run the UK specs, but I still do not feel that the rear end is planted as much as I would like it to. I do not have much experience with dealing with oversteer, so any alignment specs that would help the rear end slide out as progressively as possible would be great. This is also my daily driver so the specs cannot be too agressive.

Does adding more rear toe make the rear feel more planted or loose?

Also, to those who have massive car control (i.e. Krazik), how did you learn how to deal with oversteer? I track my car but most organization frown upon trying to oversteer on every corner.

Any suggestions would much apprecaited!

Toe-in will settle the rear when accelerating.

Come to an autocross and you will learn how to deal with oversteer. In fact, there is one tomorrow hosted by NASA (not the space agency).

There are also events held by SCCA but membership is required or you have be be someone's guest.

Out in Atwater, there are events held by the American Autocross Series.

The intent of the BSK kit you're installing IS to tame the oversteer, with your current alignment specs.
