Alignment in Philly area help
Hey everyone - I have a 98 coupe where I replaced the stock Z06 wheels that came on the car with SSR GT3's, 18 front/19 rear. My question is, how should I go about alignment? I haven't aligned the car since I've owned it (year and a half) and not since the wheels were on since October, though most of the time since October the car has been in storage.
My question is should I be aligning this to stock specs or something more like the Z06 specs, or maybe even something outside of that? Is it best to bring to a dealer to have this done, or are there reputable enough shops that can be trusted to do this? I live in the western Philly suburbs if anyone has any suggestions. I need to get the car inspected, which I was going to have done at the Firestone, and was trying to determine if I should let them do the alignment or if I should bring it to a dealer.
anyone who can add some experience here please let me know. Thanks!

Based on your location I would say your near one of the better shops for Corvette service. The shop is Phoenix Performance, check the link http://www.phoenixperformance.net/ they have a couple of shops in the area and they are very involved in Road Racing. Check out the link it has the phone numbers and everything. Second if you want to take it to a dealer one of the more trusted dealers in the area is Bryner Chevy in Jenkintown, it's a bit of a hike from Phoenixville but Steve Spencer the service tech is one of the best and the only guy Bryner allows to work on Corvettes. Steve Fisher is the service writer so give him a call if you want to go the dealer route, the number is 215-886-3140. All of that being said there are actually a bunch of good service people in our area, but I picked these because of your location. Call around and see what you find. I have left my vette with both of these shops and had very good service.
-- I can't speak first hand on the alignment specs but Kirk at Phoenix works with GM on their Racing program, he will be able to help you pick the right specs.
