You need to read up and understand what changing certain settings will do to your cars behaviour, there should be alot of info on the net about it but make sure you research more than one source.
Generally speaking;
Toe out up front will make the steering more darty as the inside wheel is already pointing very slightly in the direction you are turning and give it better/quicker turn in while toe in will make the steering less lively and a bit dull and not want to go where you turn it initially. This goes for the rear too but its not adjustable on our cars so dont worry about it. Ive been told by a few people that its not good to run 0 toe, better to run either slightly out or in, can't remember why though, maybe something to do with predictability?
More positive castor will make the steering heavier, self centre more easily when you have wound lock on and give you more camber as you turn into a corner on the outside wheel. More castor the better up to a point so maxing out the stock rods with new bushes is a good start. If you want more you can go adjustable castor rods but make sure you read up on why you need such parts dont just get them thinking it will make your car better!
normally dont set toe on 0 so it doesn't wonder when driving
caster, wheel alignment machine cant measure due to hitting guards(at work) 14's hitting front guards (trimmed)
toe, 3-4mm toe out
camber neg 4 degree's(no front sway bar)
0 ackermans, steering felt like a go kart(easy to turn until 1/4 of a turn either way and boom snaps across the road)
