Default Caster out of spec?

I put on coilovers and rear SPL toe arms this weekend and took my car in for an alignment. 2007 350z. The alignment tech mentioned that he had maxed out the oem lateral links and couldn't get the caster in spec, so I would need to get new/different lateral links to adjust it further. Searching around doesn't give me much information on adjustability for this, so I'm looking for any advice on how to get this in spec, or if it will even be necessary. The tech mentioned it may drift to the left with the current caster, but I haven't noticed any issues yet.

Attaching a pic of the alignment sheet.

Cool Caster

I would say if it's not pulling, don't worry about it. Actually, I'd be more concerned about the right rear camber that's almost a full degree different than the left rear. That may wear the inside of the tire prematurely.

i would be more worried that your right rear has almost a degree more camber than the other side
