How would a faster rate of rotation affect the location of Earths belts of subtropical high pressure?

if Earth rotated more rapidly, the Coriolis force would be stronger. How would a faster rate of rotation affect the location of Earths belts of subtropical high pressure?

1. They will likely be closer to the Equator. With a faster spinning Earth, I would think that the warm air moving northward from the air lifting from near the surface near and along the Equator would turn faster and sharper to the right at lower latitudes, This will mean the upper level convergence will also be closer to the Equator. Therefore, the belt of sinking air (subtropical highs) also be closer to the Equator.
2. I would say same thing as the other person did above; but the only thing I would change would be I think the belts of subtropical high pressure would be at latitudes away from the equator. Normally, the Coriolis force at the equator is zero and increases as you head towards the poles. This is a good question; a nice deep thinking question :)
