C5 Z06 alignment specs
I have a C5 Z06 which is daily driven, and occasional (as often as I can) autocross time. I also plan on doing some HPDE in the future.
The tires I'll be running at autocross are toyo R888 (275 front 305 rear).
Does anyone have some decent alignment specs that I can run on the street, then just switch wheels and tires and autocross with? I am definitly willing to compromise some tire wear, but I'd like to find some specs that wont completely obliterate my tires within a week of driving, or two autocross events. Toyo recommends something like between -2.5 and -5 degree camber for the R888, which seems just a little (
) too aggressive for the street.
Any help is appreciated!

As long as you keep the toe to a minimum, you shouldn't really shred your tires on the street that badly. Somewhere in the area of -2 in the front and -1 in the rear (0 toe in the front and maybe a touch of toe in, in the back to keep the rear end stable) should be a pretty good compromise. You'll definitely need the camber in the front to keep from destroying the outside edge of the race tires while autocrossing.
