Need Advice for Z06 allignment...
Read the "sticky" Weights, Ratio's Strengths ect, ect... regarding Z06allignment specs. (I'll post that section here.)
My question is that I'm asking if any of you guys feel there should be any changes (or even opinions you could give me) to improve on whats already posted below???
The reason I'm having another Z06 spec allignment is that I recently installed new PS2's on Z16 wheels and raised the car up a tad.
Our car is not a daily driver and we don't track the car. But I would like it to handle pretty decent for weekend romps.
Appreciate any advice
Thanks, Bob

I use my roadster for a highway cruiser when it's not Winter up here. Aligned when new to essentially 0 camber, 0 toe, F&R, and 7/7.3* caster for crown compensation. Had to fight the dealer to get that done. This is on runflats. Zero abnormal or noticeable tire wear in 18,000 kilometres. Wouldn't change a thing.

I want to upgrade my alignment as well with my new Z16 wheels and GS D3's, but am waiting until after I install the DTE rear to get it done so I am very interested in the responses you get.
