I recently had an Eibach Pro-Kit installed.
At the time of alignment, the tech said the drivers side caster was out of spec and could not be corrected without additional parts.
Caster is at 6.1
Factory max spec is 5.8
The car drives fine and doesn't pull or anything.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Your caster might be off because the Eibach springs lowered the rear more than the front. Might not be noticeable but if your car is now say 1 degree nose up, then your caster is 1 degree angled back.

Will it make a huge difference? Not really. Caster is not a tire wearing alignment angle. It’s more important that they’re even left to right so the car doesn’t pull one way or the other. Your steering might feel a little more aggressive, but not by much. You probably wouldn’t have noticed if I didn’t mention it.
