Some comments from a friend in my area who has a similar setup for autocrossing using the same balljoints I did:

Some say to not mess with caster, but to me more just makes sense. If you have a 97+ you could also use this trick to even out the passenger compression arm which the dealer installs a bushing in backwards, eliminiting almost all caster on that side in favor of safety for those falling asleep at the wheel.
