Can anyone post the factory suspension geometry settings(camber,castor and Toe) and offer advice on any improvements over Factory settings.
My car is a 90 ZR1 i use for road and tha odd track day.
Thanx.

I don't have the stock settings handy but here's the advanced street specs commonly used. These will improve handling noticeably without causing any undue tire wear.

Front: toe 0 / camber 1/4 neg. / caster 5-7 pos.

Rear: toe 1/8" in / camber 1/2 neg.

Just wondering where these numbers came from. I had my alignment set at "advanced street" settings I found in a Corvette Fever magazine, and have since lost the magazine. I'm wondering if these might be the same. THANKS!

They probably are the same ones. I've run across them all over the place, they're pretty standard.

Those settings look a lot like the advanced street settings on the VBP website. Might wanna check that out.
