Need Allignment Specs Z51
I lowered my car on the stock bolts and put on some A&A frame rail savers yesterday. I read some posts a while back giving specs for the various suspension types, FE4, Z51, Z06. I did a search but could not find what I was looking for. Would appreciate anybody out there who can provide the Z51 allignment specifications for me. I want these in hand when I go to the shop to have my coupe alligned. Appreciate the help.

as far as factory specs, there are only 2- Z06, and non-Z06. If you're looking for handling, you can choose the Z06, however you may experience some inner edge wear on the front. Personally(and I'm a ASE tech ), I run 0 to -0.2 degrees camber in the front, 0 to + 0.05 toe in on each side(total +0.10), with caster higher on right side to compensate for road crowns. The back is corrected per factory specs! Good luck
