You can adjust the torsion bars to pull the wheels forward but its not going to move too much. Also without a proper alignment rack you will never know the exact specs.

Camber and toe would be a much better thing to adjust for autocross. Caster will not yeild the biggest gains.

Once the caster is set you dont have to change it. Get is set up once at an alignment shop and then leave it alone. Your toe and camber adjustments will not affect it.
