Default Alignment Question..........

Hello, I posted this in the tire & wheel section but didn't get a reply so I thought I would try here

Wednesday I am having new tires and wheels installed on my 2004 C5 Coupe and I have a couple of alignment related questions for you guys.

I am installing C6 Z06 reproducton wheels 18x9.5 57mm offset (front) and 19x11 64mm offset (rear) with Michelin Ps2's 275/35ZR18 (front) and 305/30ZR19 (rear).

I have the F55 suspension with the car slightly lowered with Z06 sway bars installed.

I do not race the car, it is a daily driver and I am looking for the best ride and tire wear.

My questions are:

1) Would the stock alignment specifications be the best for my car with the information I supplied above or should I adjust the specifications any?

2) Are these the correct stock alignment specs for my 2004 C5 Coupe?



Thanks

Going by your criteria, I would go with:

0* camber all the way around
7+* caster
A touch of toe-in at both ends

This should give:

Maximum tread life (for your stated driving style)
Maximum rear tire grip
Good stability and tracking
