Alignment
New to forum- I know I have seen it but cannot find it- looking for the alignment specs for street spec. Just bought an 06 Vert replacing the tires with non run flats. Either continental dsw 06 or Bridgestone pole positions s-04-pp-opinions on the tires.
Really could use the alignment numbers for street spec - Thanks in advance

Unless you are an agressive driver, you'll end up seeing inside tire wear on the front using -0.70* camber. By agressive i mean take curves and corners quickly. This scrubs the outside of tires to match the amount of wear the insides will be getting.
If you are an average everyday driver, use the factory -0.45* camber front and rear.

Not picking on you, just trying to understand where you got the -.7 from, for a street alignment recommendation, because it's not from them

OP...I would suggest base Corvette specs, not the more aggressive Z51 specs.
As for the Bstones, I have them on my car and they are quieter, better, longer lasting than OEM.

Yes, it is. One of the PFADT documents says that.

I recommend the stock -0.45* for front and rear for those that do not drive aggressive.

Very top one says performance street. And the front camber is written as -0.70* to -0.90*. Doesn't say street or track use.
I'll stick with my assessment of only using -0.45* front and rear. This is withy 15 years as an alignment shop owner and fixing countless c6 cars, including grand sport models, that have come in with -0.75* front camber and worn insides of tires because they don't drive aggressive enough to scrub the outsides of the tire to match the amount of wear the insides are getting.
I can say this: those buying suspension parts are going to be driving aggressively. Those with all stock suspension and just drive around casually, use the recommended specs i posted.
At the end of the day, decide what your driving habits are and set accordingly.

I thought I read somewhere here (cannot find it) That there is a PURE Street Spec. What I am seeing here is a performance street spec. Am I dreaming on the pure street spec?
