    all I can add to this is on my model A being so short with a great rake, Caster did it for me, as well as a little toe in, as of now I can't give an exact caster or toe in specs, as although it was done on a newer 4 wheel machine it was far beyond anything it could read. and was done old school and now can drive at speed, and I mean thru rain puddles etc. hope all works out well for you. p.s. from the beginning the people in the know on this site sent me in the right direction. and caster and toe was the main. so thanks all. oh yea another thing if the calipers where hung by the hoses or just twisted the wrong way, well guess what the pistons will not retract and will for a simpler explanation stick/stuck. please ask me how I know this. Ouch....so in my view you have a double problem, which can only be cured by fixing the braking issues, and then the correct as your chassis requires alignment. look don't take my word on this as I am just learning, just makes scene to me. Brian Phat after rereading I think I am on the same page as you, I would love to be able to put another 2 degrees caster, but as you say I would have to cut it out, maybe I can just bend it LOL
