Thank you for the feedback! I noticed the negative caster deal in an old alignment specification sheet online, but adjusted the car "positive" the same as you did.

I ended up with 3/4-16 female rod ends on the end of the stock strut rods. The strut rods received a little heat and bend and now they attach to tabs I welded to the frame rails. Still not optimal but zero deflection, less bind than before, and now I can trim away the stock strut rod mounting structure and have more room for headers and header removal/install with the engine in the car.
The plan is to run them forward down the road if we convert to a rack and pinion setup.

Again, thank you for the input. Glad to hear that the stock front end is not holding you back with the small tire. Our engine was intended for boost but is NA at the moment. Should be an 11 second ride as is and then only faster from there.
Rear suspension is split mono leaf/Caltracs deal with sliders.
