At their minimal settings, my caster is at 5.8 driver's side, 5.6 passenger. I think, but am not sure, that that's what my caster was with the OEM top hats. If they have 0.5 deg of adjustment as @AFRichZC6 said, you should be able to even yours out with them. But you'd have to raise the side at 5.6 to match the side at 5.9.



I wouldn't worry too much about the difference in caster that you have from side to side. I don't think I've ever owned a car that had perfectly matching caster from side to side. I would guess that a couple mm or less difference in how the shock mounting holes in the body line up to each other from side to side would account for 0.2 - 0.3 deg of difference in caster.
