Any difference between Z06 and Base Corvette stock alignment specs?
I lowered my car about a week ago. I'm getting an alignment tomorrow. I just wanted to make sure if there was a difference between the Z06 stock alignment specs vs the base alignment.

Yes. The service manual for my '03 shows there are different.
Be warned that the Z06 settings are aggressive for the street, with a lot of negative camber. If you set the alignment with the allowed 1.2 degrees of negative camber, you will get heavy inside tire wear unless you are only going to drive on a track.

I noticed no inside wear at -1.2, but with my setup at -2.7, now I seem to wear then out a little.
A little spirited driving on the weekends will offset the wear from running a little - camber on the street.

I don't get that much wear with a -1.3 setup but that may be because I drive my car hard all the time so the outside of the tires are getting worn when running hard around an On or Off ramp.
