Z06 camber adjustments
I have a couple of questions regarding camber...
Is camber adjustable on a Z06 without purchasing parts (upper and/or lower A arms)?
I plan on lowering the car with the bolts tightened all the way (1/2 -1 inch) this weekend, and I was told after a week of driving to get the car re-alligned. I plan on having the dealer do this, but in the process I would like some more additional camber (-1.0) for more aggressive cornering. Can you have this done at a dealer? I do not want to attempt to do this myself, has any body gotten this done by a dealer/performance shop?

Some good advice in both of them. Email me if you would like the entire spec sheet.

Re: Z06 camber adjustments (CPT Z06)
Good info CPT Z06! Althought, I think these are a little too aggressive for me. I want to keep the "toe in" type adjustments stock. I know these help turn in a lot, but might be too much for the street. I just wanted to add a little camber for hard cornering. Can I go with an extra -.25 on each wheel and leave the other settings stock?
From looking at your specs, I note that you give much more camber to the fronts than the back?!? I was thinking 1 full degree of negative camber at each wheel? should I add some camber just to the fronts and leave the rear stock? BMW's actually come out of the factory with negative camber in the rear only? Why? I am a little confused.

Re: Z06 camber adjustments (95jersey)
I'm no expert. There are too many varibles to compare different cars. As I said in my post I lowered my Z06 and I had -1.5 all around, and I loved the way it handled. I have seen from different sources the lesser camber on the rear of the vette. I'll post this question in the racing section and see what kind of answers we get.
