s13 All You Alignment Gurus, I Need some Help!!!

So a little back story....

I'm building my S13, finishing up the suspension setup while I'm waiting to get the last parts for my 2J swap.
Dropped in a spare KA I had laying around and threw it up on the rack.
I'm running all PBM arms in the rear, Megan Track coils, S14 lower control arms & Tein tension rods up front.

After a couple hours the suspension settings are:
Rear
-1.2 camber
0 toe

Front
-3.8 camber
.2 toe out
7.8 caster on the passenger side
-2.0 caster on the driver side

Why am I running negative caster on the driver side you ask?
I have no clue.
We tried everything to get it to match the passenger side.
Even trying to get it to 0 made it scrub the rear of the wheel well. There's no damage to the strut tower. They're brand new coils and rods. The machine was set up correctly. Everything we did would either scrub or the tension rod would be so far adjusted that it'd damn near come apart.

I'm hoping someone has an idea why it's doing this and give some ideas on how to fix it.
Anything will help. I want to get this sorted before I drop the new motor in and head to the track.
