Default Alignment help...fast....

I am getting my newly purchased 02 vert z51 serviced tomorrow with new Mich Pilots AS/+ and need help on what is the best street set up for alignment. I have seen PFADT specks but see people refer to it as non z51 set up. Can someone give me numbers for the Z51 set up?

Thanks!

Mrr23-----Thanks! Ended up @

Front Camber: L: -0.5 R: -0.3
Caster: L:9.2 R: 8.4
Toe : L: 0.04 R: .08

Cross Camber: -0.2
Cross Caster: 0.9
TToe : 0.11

Rear: Camber: L: -0.2 R: -0.2
Toe : 0.00 R:0.03

Cross Camber: 0.0
TToe: 0.02
Thrust angle: -0.01

thats as close as they could get with me asking for the caster front @ 8.5. He said drive it a little and check it again. Thoughts?

Your car most be pulling to the right pretty good with the cross caster at .9 and cross camber at -.2.

Cross camber should be even to .3 and cross caster at -.3 to -.5.

Unless you drive on the left side of the road.

My before on the front was -1.0 Cross Camber and 0.1 cross Caster.

The left front outside should a lot of wear.
