Default To much caster?

I did a proper alignment on my car yesterday. Previously I have done it myself with some primitive device. On the rig the settiings I had accomplished wasn't to far out from the specs.



I have now set it to the following.
Camber -0.8°
Caster 8°
Toe 0.5°

This is with SpeedTech arms and Guldstrand mod on stock subframe.

I had opted for 6° Caster but it wasn't possible. My control arm bolts was to short for that.

I have seen recommendations on 6° caster and wonder if my 8° are to much?

It feels good now on the road. On sunday we will have a trackday and then I can check it out properly.
