will make the car more responsive, but some find this extra responsiveness (due to the increased neg camber) too "nervous" and it will increase you inner tire wear.

I just did mine...posted the same thread, some say go with the Z06 w/1 deg. neg camber, others say that this will prematurley wear the insides of the tires 
if you have runflats.....I opted to go back to the original factory specs and keep an eye out for wear. By the time it will be noticeable its probably gonna be to late. This is a very interesting question with equally confusing answers. Do a search on the subject and read up on it as much as you can, Iam still unsure on exactly which way is the best. One thing you must do is let the car "settle" before you go in for the alignment.....wait a couple weeks and put a couple hundred miles on the car. Good luck and let us know how it works out.
