Yes they do.

One other thing that is sometimes over looked is how the overall stance of the car impacts the caster. They seem to handle better at speed with a slight nose down stance, but any nose down subtracts from the desirable caster. So a slight nose down stance is better for the caster than a bunch of nose down. The other thing to consider about the overall stance is that the top of the door (below the window frame) is not parallel with the bottom of the pitch weld. It angles up toward the front of the car, so the car will look like it is running up hill if the pinch weld is parallel to the ground. From my measurements and calculations a 1” difference between the front and back pinch weld equals 1 degree. Mine is a tad over 3/8” lower in front or .375+ degrees nose down. That stance puts the top of the door just very slightly lower in the front in relation to the ground. A lot to think about, but it is amazing how getting the car to sit with a good stance and ride height makes such a huge difference in its appearance and handling.
