The caster is set by the wishbone splitting kit mounting points. Adjusting the ends in and out will only move the axle back and forth and not affect the caster significantly. I have done many of these conversions using the P&J/Posie stuff and have not had to cut the bones for caster adjustment yet. I have done this in conjunction with a CE rear spring setup. I usually end of with 3-4 degrees of rake on the chassis using 235/15s on the rear and 165/15s on the front. This has resulted in 5-7 degrees caster which in conjunction with 1/8 toe in results in a good driving car.
