Default Alignment for my C5Z, advice needed.

Hello everyone,

I have looked over many other threads, videos, and articles etc and I kind of have an idea of what I want to do for an alignment but want to run it past you guys.

This car will run about 12 Auto x events with 315 square hoosiers and 2-3 track days with 275/305 NT01's. I thought about doing the whole remove tabs on the upper control arm and adjust toe every time I get to the track but for a car I am going to drive to the races I dont want to go through that every time.

So what I was thinking was to run around -2.5 deg camber in the front and -15. deg rear and 0 toe. I feel like this will give me a happy medium, I know I will wear my street tires faster but I drive the car maybe once or twice a week on the street and on the way to the races.

Do you guys recommend anything different?

Thank you in advanced.

17 or 18 inch wheels? I autocrossed and tracked mine with 17x11 rims wearing 315/35/17 710s and it was great.
