Default Alignment ?

Setting up my suspension on my 2003 Z!

I have my ride height close to where I want it 3/4 lower on stock bolts. I replaced the shocks with bilstein sports, and 4 new wheel bearings/hubs from Timken. I will install the c6 Z51 sways and i have Pfadt metal end links. Do i wait to the car settles before I install the endlinks so I dont load the bars, they should slide into the whole with no resistance right.

Then once all this is complete I will install Toyo RA1's on my stock Z wheels plus i have a extra set with stock good years, should i align it with the new or old tires?

I also want a little more track orientated alignment for the street for the car as i plan on doing a couple of road courses this year.

Does anyone have something written out for each setting so I can give it to my alignment guy, i don't want him in GM tolerances I want him as close to my desired number!

Already looked at pfadt, VBP for specs but i need them all!

1. drive the car and settle it before installing end links.

2. tires don't matter for alignment, as long as pressures are symmetric

3. you can search for alignment info, it is abundant.....
