I have lowered my 2g GST with H&R race springs, and Tokico shocks, with an allignment kit from RRE, when I had the vehicle allignement done they informed me that the drivers side front strut is almost 1" off caster from the oem spec. I definately feel the car pull awkwardly when under hard braking. and also some torque steer that was not there before the drop.

Please help with any info on correcting caster aside from a full race caster setup.

96+ DSMs are something like 3/4 degree different left to right, due to the install of the compression arm bushing. If you post the actual numbers the alignment jig produced that would be helpful. It may be that the geometry change simply from lowering has pushed the car outside the OEM specs.

The L-R difference is to get the car to track straight on crowned roads.
