Default Alignment

My 01 Z is i need of alignment, since I am in need of another set of tires. I seem to recall there was a discussion on this forum relating to this subject stating that the factory specs were wrong. Is this the case? I do not do any course racing, but I do have my fun. Thanks in advance ... The old tires seem to be wearing SLIGHTLY uneven.

My recommendation is sit in the car while they do it and get:

Front -
Camber = -1.0 L/R
Toe = 0.0 L/R

Rear -
Camber = -.5
Toe = -.01 L/R

Get as much caster as possible up front while keeping priority on the above specs and matched Left/Right.

Use whoever will allow you to sit in the car. for me, that meant going to an ntb 45 miles away (also since they had a lift I could get on without scraping....)

That's basically what I did a month ago after gettting some new tires... 305/30/19's out back and 275/35/18's in front, It was a local Goodyear tire service center with one of the newest Hunter machines that is only 6 months new. And they let me sit in the Z06 and turn wheel to set alignment arrow on their computer. $59.95 + tax... $65 and I got a great alignment.
