Alignment Question
I copied these alignment settings from the sticky.
I just had an alignment and noticed my settings (bold) do not match any of the settings listed in the sticky. The shop that did the alignment said they are all within spec.
Looking at my settings, are they considered acceptable?
Alignment
Autocross
CAMBER: -2.5° front, -1.5° rear; CASTER: max; TOE: -1/8" toe-out, front; 1/8" toe-in, rear --- Source
C5 Service Manual Alignment --- Source
Front Individual Toe +0.04 degree .02 L - .05 R
Front Sum Toe +0.08 degree .07
Front Individual Caster +6.9 degree 7.1 L - 7.2 R
Front Cross Caster within 0.50 degree
Front Individual Camber -0.20 degree -.02 L -.01 R
Front Cross Camber within 0.50 degree
Rear Individual Toe -0.01 degree .04 L -.03 R
Rear Sum Toe -0.02 degree .03
Rear Individual Camber -0.18 degree -.03 L 0.0 R
Rear Cross Camber within 0.50 degree
Thanks!

Your numbers look a little weird to me. Are you sure you have the decimals correct?
If so, the front and rear cambers are all essentially zero (all less than 0.1 degrees) which does nothing for handling but will provide pretty good tire wear. It also looks like you have toe out on one side and toe in on the other for both front and rear, which again isn't quite right though within Z06 tolerances.
Not sure about your specs for the C5 as they don't have the tolerances. I know these are the Z06 specs:
Front Individual Toe: +0.04 degree +/- 0.10 degree
Front Sum Toe: +0.08 degree +/- 0.20 degree
Front Individual Caster: +6.9 degree +/- 0.50 degree
Front Cross Caster: within +/- 0.25 degree
Front Individual Camber: -0.70 degree +/-0.50 degree
Front Cross Camber: within +/-0.25 degree
Rear Individual Toe: -0.01 degree +/- 0.10 degree
Rear Sum Toe: -0.02 degree +/- 0.20 degree
Rear Individual Camber: -0.68 degree +/- 0.50 degree
Rear Cross Camber: within +/- 0.50 degree
