Default Alignment Specs for non-run flats

Getting a 4-wheel alignment tomorrow with some new Sport Pilots. Can one advise which specs would be best? Stock, Z06 or some other? Thanks in advance for your input. :smash: :smash: :yesnod: :lol: :seeya

I suggest you stay with the factory allignment specs. That will give you the best balance of tire ware and handeling. I have the camber on all 4 corners set to -1.0 degree to give me better turn in and tire ware on the track, but that much negative camber causes the insides of my street tires to ware more than the outsides: thus, I'm not going to get as good street mileage on my street tires as I would if the allignment was set to factory specs. Some don;t like that much negative camber because they say the car does not track in a straight line as well. Hope this helps. :cool:
