Default any wheel alignment xperts out there?

alright so on my '94 civic EX coupe, I just got finished increasing my caster to +3* per side. Toe & camber settings are the same as they were previously (toe-out -0.17* per side, camber -1.2* per side).
Only now, it feels like the front wants to push out more than ever in hard corners. Being that this is contrary to all suspension theory, whats the deal??

any thoughts?

how did you adjust the caster??
the caster and camber are not adjustable
your toe is off
it should be at 0. re adjust your toe your tires arent pointing striaght.
as long as your camber is the same on both sides it wont cause a pull or sway.

i dont know what type or suspension parts you have or anything.
its hard to answer this question.

I adjusted the caster with custom fabricated racing control arms. The camber gained to - automatically when I lowered the car. Toe should be set to -0.12* out as per the factory service manual. Everything is adjustable if you have access to the right equipment and tools.
Anyone?
