Default Can't find alignment specs for C6

I know I read a thread that David Farmer wrote about alignment specs for my 05 Z51 C6. My car is my everyday driver but I track it six to eight times a year and I want to go as far as I can to help at the track (race rubber) and still not mess up my street tires too bad. Anyone have a link to the post David had this info in? I searched all post by davidfarmer in this section and did not find it.

Thanks for the info. Looks to be a good company. I found this http://www.vbandp.com/instructions/h...ruct/align.htm

But nothing for the C6

-1.1deg Camber Front (0.06deg total toe out)
-0.9deg Camber Rear (0.08deg total toe in)

That's what I ended up with for my mostly street driven C6 Z51 with track+autox in mind... currently on the stock F1 Supercars, mind you. I know guys like to get a lot more aggressive but I drive the car everyday on the street...

2005 C6 Z51: http://www.corvetteforum.net/c5/toom...6alignment.htm

2007 C6: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...87&postcount=3


This is from “allanlaw” on CF and I believe is what he tracks his C6 Z06 with on 18” tires all around:

Front:
camber -1.00 +/- 0.60
caster 8.00 +/- 0.60
toe 0.10 +/- 0.20

Rear:
camber -1.00 +/- 0.50
toe 0.00 +/- 0.20

Another member reports to have the front camber at -1.70, rear at -1.30.

I did another search and found lots of different ideas about what to settings to run. I also found some info in the FAQ. I should have looked there first but I still think I read a thread by David Farmer but if I did it's gone now.
