What is the correct rake for C5 Z06
Have been doin a few spirited runs and am gettin alittle loose it feels like. Thinking maybe I don't have the appropriate rake causing this problem.

Front shold be 5mm lower when measured at the jacking puck holes in the fram rails.
Most on here jus slam the back down low w/o reguard for the reake.
If the car feels odd it's most likely allignment related and/or tire pressures. If you don't hvae enough front caster the car will feel like a sloppy pig.

Tell them what you want... for a street car I'd recommend the max oem Z06 settings.
Most dealers use a range which is BS for a sports car... you want a specific number.

I agree! A lightweight car like the Z with really wide tires is affected a great deal by very small changes in the alignment. Tell them EXACTLY what you want, and if they can't get that for you go to someone who can.
