Default getting alignment....prefered specs?

Saturday morning....

Is there a prefered spec? I have found all the charts and whatnot that are posted, but haven't found anyone saying one spec is prefered, etc....

Thanks



99 C5 lowered on stock bolts....camber is currently at zero degrees on the fronts.

Depends on what you want to do with it. For optimal handling have the shop put on factory specs throughout; then have them lower the car to one half inch lower than stock front and rear.

For your lowered car it might need to go up a bit.

Might not have the look you want and that is a different story. If the car is just for static parked looks just have it aligned standard and lower it til it looks good to you regardless.

I went with the Z06 specs after I lowered and went with wider wheels.

Thanks guys for the input...I went with 01 Z06 specs.

Car goes nice and straight now, and seems to corner smoother.
