The handling is so wonderful with the added caster. I'm sure some of the ITR guys would be interested in what you're working on.
i did the same thing on my other coupe as far as the flip.

these units are tubular and have spherical bearings for the inner pivots and i am using s2 ball joints directly bolted to the arm(no camber adjustment there, no slipping) they are very beefy looking yet the tubing is thin walled as the stress on the tubing itself is no where near the fail point of the material. both front and rear of the struts have adjustments with 2 jam nuts as well as set screws on side 1 and 4 of the nuts(accross from eachother, 2 per nut) they are made for serious track use
