Default Wheel alignment specs?

What would be the proper wheel alignment specs for a 99 C5?

Also, getting a very, very faint swishing sound from one of my wheels. Brakes need adjusting?
Thanks.

Go to the C5 Z06 section, see the first page of the FAQ sticky, I have all the specs for C5 alignment posted there.

Thanks.

I would also like to here what wheel alignment specs people are useing for there C5's


Railfan need more info on the faint swishing sound,is it a scraping sound that goes away when you apply the brakes ? if so then its time for pads.The pads have a ear that sticks out torward the rotor and when the pad gets worn down enough it contacts the rotor to let you know it time for new pads.If its faint like you say then it could be that is just starting .

Will have to listen again, with the windows down and cruising slowly besides parked cars (for the sound to echo off of). Don't believe the sound stops when brakes are applied, but will listen again the next opportunity. I'll get back to you on this.

Saw the alignment specs for the new C6 Z06, but wasn't sure they would be the same for my C5.

Thanks guys, for the help.
