I've never been entirely convinced by Chris' favourite of reducing the caster to minimum. It feels like you can effortlessly point the wheel wherever you want, which is good on track, but I find I sometimes miss the weightier self-centering steering feel of old. Next time (I'm sure there will be one), I might get him to add some caster back.
Mine is like that strangley stable but light on the steering.
More castor at my next session I think!
Down side is less feel and feedback

I think it all depends how you define 'feel'
Less castor means the steering will feel lighter and will have less self centring, requiring the driver to steer the car more when straightening. More castor makes it harder to turn the wheel from straight, which might be described as more feel I suppose?

And if it's heavier and self centres, then it feels like you're having to work to get the car around the corner. Which you could say is a negative thing but does give you an indication of how much you're turning and how far away from centre you are.
But it's all subjective. I did like it going round The Ring, so maybe it's a case of track vs. road setup.
And my steering feels better anyway with less front roll.

I like the way you optimistically put a smiley there. You KNOW you will do it and spend all that money. It's your nature. It is your DESTINY!

I was amased at the levels of grip I was getting.
With 4 deg of -ive camber on the rear before the alignment, it was just a bonus to have all the tyre on the track
