'95 wheel alignment
I have a '95 convertible with the FX3. I need to get the wheels aligned. Is it a good idea to get 4 wheel alignment? What specs should I use for caster, camber, etc. The car is mostly leisure car. No track use or high performance driving.

Vette brake products used to have an alignment cheat sheet.
It included specs for street, aggressive street, track, etc.
So check their website or do a search here for "alignment"

You should absolutely get a 4-wheel alignment. Ask around for a good shop with a competent tech. This will likely not be a chain outlet, but an independent shop. The shop should have the stock specs, also they are in the FSM.

c4cruiser sent a link to the alignment specs in a reply to my tire question thread:
Oh, and I posted pics at the end of my thread but nobody looked, d'oh!

Check out the VB&P link above. Good stuff! I recommend using the Daily Driver specs. You can also align it yourself, depending on your mechanical inclination. It's really, really easy. I started doing my own about a year ago, after getting sick of shops not giving me what I ask for.

Pretty much all you need is a tape measure and bubble level! A laser-level helps, but I don't think it's necessary.
