I am not an expert on suspensions but will give you my opinion.
The suspensions are designed and built as a package. That includes tires.
I would not change the suspension without changing the whole thing, including the springs. Then you could go to a Z06 alignment.
Having said that, the Z06 alignment is one of the most overrated things here.
The settings are identical with the coupe/vert except the Z06 runs a little more camber. Do not get all hung up on that.
Do you have Z06 tires?
Just my opinion. Good luck with it.
Dave

Dave, thanks for the info......I just learned something new, I thought that there was a whole different set of specs for the Z06. I will have the Z06 wheels and tires by spring thaw. Again, thanks.... :cheers:
