I cant remember off the top of my head, but if i increase caster in the front of my S14 via tension rods, will this either increase or decrease toe? With the tie rods being behind the steering knuckles, my memory tells me that an increase in caster will decrease toe. Please help!

I got an alignment the other day, and the d/s caster was 6.8 and the p/s was 6.2 degrees. The upper limit of caster is 7.5 degrees. The paper is in the car, but i remember i was barely in the green for positive toe (toe-in, right? man i dont remember). Basically i want to increase my caster, without having to get the car re-aligned, since i know the rest of the numbers that car is set at right now. thanks!

increasing caster will not affect toe, you will hower gain camber while turning, which is a good thing. your camber will remain the same while going straight. run the maximum amount of caster possible
