Kick up has never really been explained to me too well, what are the actual effects, side effects etc of it? another thing i never understood is why you run caster at all, the way i think of it it's like having the wheels part way to being steered at 90 degress to the floor, meaning at full lock they steer like a bike and have very little contact patch ! A small amount might help with the cambering effects of cornering, but 25 and 30 degrees always sounded kinda extreme to me, they're fairly big numbers when you work with 0-4 degrees toe or camber
