I recently purchased a C5 and plan on occasional autocross and high speed events. I have done this for years but always in C4 Corvettes. I am looking for an alignment to fit track and street. I was thinking of something similar to Z06 specs with about -.6 camber. Any thoughts, advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

For a compromise setting, I use the following:

front camber: -0.8
rear camber: -0.6
front toe: 1/16" total toe in
rear toe: 0.0

This gets me decent street wear, with the inner edges wearing slightly faster than the outer edges. I flip my autocross tires once during their usage.

HTH, and have a good one,
Mike

^^^ Would these same settings be good for a 99 FRC for HPDE events?

Thanks

I've run DEs with those settings with no problems. You won't get the maximum capability out of your car with those settings at either an autocross or a DE; BUT you won't kill your street tires either, and you won't have the car hunting like a bloodhound after an escaped convict.

Have a good one,

crank EVERY adjuster as far as they will go, set the toe 1/16 OUT in the front, and 1/8" IN in the front.
EDIT: sorry, above is for AutoX only, not street

David, I'm pretty sure you meant for the rear. And, I was aiming for the compromise setup; you know, the one that's equally bad for everyone.

Have a good one,

I'm finding this kind of alignment is OK for HPDE but not nearly aggressive enough for autox. The car won't turn in.

Last year I has a more aggressive alignment, for autox, and found that it actually worked OK for HPDE also. I'm about to go back to something closer to those specs.
