Default C3, 4 wheel alignment specs?

Hi All,
I just finished the front suspension and trailing arms, and need a 4 wheel alignment.
Does anyone have the stock specs?
and does anyone have general hotlap/road course specs to work with?

Thanks, Merry and Happy

I tried to fix the table spacing, but didn't have any luck. Post if it's not clear.

Evan
Hey I dont know about toe in or toe out or all that crap,but my rear wheels got out of adjustment, and I took it in for an alinement, and they told me that my strutrods were bad. So I bought some of those ajustable rear strutrods and put them on ,I must say it wasnt easy, anyway when I got done ,I took the rear trim rings off and cut a 2 by 4 the lenght of the rim ,put a level on the 2 by 4 ,and slowly turned the strut rod till I got the level between the lines. And if you take a look at the rear wheels they look perfect. This is just my 2 cents worth!!!!! yo Bill
