The castor can only be adjusted with eccentic top mounts or shimming the ARB to set the top of the damper back or push the bottom of the damper forward (respectively).
Adjustable TCAs allow the camber to be changed.
I agree with Rick about correct pundage springs and also think it is crazy that you are comparing fucked dampers with brand new ones, as that is missing the point completely - it's not fitting like for like.

From looking at it more closely, i think that the steering rack is partly to blame for loss of traction on on a lowered RST...
Maybe this could do with being adjustable in height to correct the angle of the lowered hubs.
