Z51 or base?
The base cars have 8.5" rims in the front 9.5 rims in the back
with 255f 285r tires
The Z51 cars run 275's on 9.5" rims all the way around.
also the swaybars are different.
big difference.

Re: Understeer (swoosh)
Try -1.5 camber front with 0 toe
-1 camber rear with 1/16 (total) toe
I find this made a big improvement while still providing good tire wear for a
daily driver on street tires. THese spec are still within factory acceptable range.
IF you don't like the feel of the car at high speed put 1/16 toe in on front
this is subject to personal prefrence.
Avoid the temptation to use the 30mm sway bar or go back to the 26mm bar.
(for now at least)
As mentioned retrofit the 9.5 rims up front so you can use 275 or 285's all
the way around.
examine your driving technique and make sure you are not charging into
corners (software problem vs hardware problem ???)
See Ya On track!
