Default Surprising Alignment Numbers...

Went down to the local Mavis Tire, where a friend is a tech. He put the C5Z on the rack and went to work...with me in the car. A good 1.5 hrs later...

Here are the numbers:

Front:
Camber -2.3 both sides
Toe 1/8 toe in total, 1/16 in on each side
Caster 7.8

Rear:
Camber -1.3 both sides
Toe 1/4 toe in total, 1/8 in on each side


I was quite surprised at the numbers, as I didn't think that front camber could allow that caster. I made sure the brake was super tight and the wheel didn't move a bit.

I'm off to Limerock on Nov 9th with PDA...we'll see how she works...
