Alignment Question

2002 Vert 6 Speed:

Time for realignment. Should I tell the mechanic to use stock specs or Z06 specs or something like 2004 Z06 specs??.

Thanks,
Mike

I had mine checked at the dealer. I had them take it to the exact factory specs. It drives nice, gets great milage, and the tires are wearing go and even on all four wheels. Mine is a 03 MN6 with 22K on it. My 2 cents worth is to take it to the factory specs.

who do you have doing the work? I'm also in the area and would like to try someone recommended for a change. Just lowered and want to get it done.

It depends on how you use your car. If you just drive it around on the street, then stock specs are fine. If you take it on the track (not drag strip) from time to time, a little negative camber, like Z06 specs, would be a thought. If you make many trips to the track and you're pretty fast, more negative camber is useful. I use settings that are a tad more aggressive than Z06 specs.
