Alignment ?
Vette Brakes & Prod. suggests:
FRONT
Toe : 1/32" in
Camber : 0 neg.
Caster : 5 - 7 pos.
REAR
Toe : 1/8 in
Camber - 0
for a daily driver. Is this a "better" setting than the factory settings.
I know "better" is highly subjective, what I am looking for is a setting that does not "hunt" in the truck ruts. and is not darty.
I am hesetant to go to an alignment shop with my own settings (VP&P suggestions) just to find out that the car is squirlly, and then go back to the shop and look like a dweeb and ask them to align it to factory specs.
Hasve you used these settings? Will my wife squack when she drives the car with these settings? Or should I just stick with the factory settings?
Thanks,

Re: Alignment ? (C44ever)
Just go to Firestone and pay to have the lifetime alignment done. If you do not like it just go to another Firestone and have them change it back. ;)

Re: Alignment ? (Vette92)
Here's the specs that were posted in Corvette Fever a few years back. As Vette92 stated, get the lifetime at Firestone and you can change it if you don't like them.
