I would ask this question in the Autocross and Roadracing forum. Probably get more input. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...roadracing-23/

use your google skills to search it... their alignment spec sheet will come up... then you can print that and bring to your favorite alignment shop and ask them to set it up.

There are 3 or 4 setups on there depending on what you are doing. I would say the street setup(the first one on the sheet) would work well for like 98% of drivers...

Depends on what you are doing with the car. More negative camber is better grip on the track but the insides of the tires wear faster. On the street, straight up camber (O degrees) provides longer tire life.
