FD caster affected by Hinson subframe?

Hello, has anyone experienced any alignment issues, particularly with caster maxing out at 3-4 degrees, when using a Hinson LS subframe?

Just want to eliminate the Hinson as a possible culprit. I know it is more likely subframe alignment (and not the sub itself), bent frame, or a bent arm, but I have not been able to detect any of these without sending the car to a full body alignment shop.

I'm going to see if I can notch the slot in the subframe to extend the rear of the LCA further outward than it will currently go, but obviously going too crazy with this idea will negatively impact dynamic geometry, so I need to be mindful of how far I can go.

Just wondering what people's alignment experiences have been running the Hinson sub.

Thanks in advance!
