Yes, what model do you have?
For NA & NBs try for the maximum you can. ie around the high 4 to early 5 degrees with 1.5 neg camber. Back off the camber and the castor can go up.
If it's a NC set at around 6.2 degrees.

its for a 98 daily driver. im going to pedders on friday to have everything set up, and just wondered what caster (and everything else now i think of it) people had. is caster adjustment available straight from the factory or do you have to put a kit on the car???

With power steering, just pick the camber you want, then ask them to dial in as much caster as possible while keeping that camber angle.

It adjustable with the factory adjustments already built into the car, but it's not an independent adjustment. ie changing caster will also affect your camber. So it's a bit of a compromise between whether you want lots of caster or lots of camber. Hence the comments from the guys above.
