Caster is the position of the wheel horizontaly in the wheelarch.. negative is more to the front compared to the centre and positive more to the back (this could be reversed, but caster is that position anyways)..

Any change in camber/ride height etc.etc. should not change caster.. If your caster is off by alot, then you could have old bushings, or damage you did not know off and the whole suspension is warped/bent compared to the OEM position.

And No, change in caster will not change ride height, but could change your toe by a little bit.
