Putting new Michelin’s on my ‘11 Grand Sport. Does anyone have the alignment settings for front and rear suspensions?
Stock height, stock wheels and stock tire size. Thanks
I Google this for you. It was a nice easy-to-read page but when posting it reformatted. You may want to Google for yourself:
Performance Street Front min max Camber (deg) -0.7 -0.9 Caster (deg) 7.5 8.5 Toe -1/16" 0 Rear Camber (deg) -0.4 -0.6 Toe -1/16" 0 Notes These settings will provide good performance and good tire wear Performance Street - Track Use with Street Tires Front min max Camber (deg) -1.1 -1.3 Caster (deg) 7.5 8.5 Toe -1/16" 0 Rear Camber (deg) -0.7 -0.9 Toe -1/8" -1/16" Notes These settings will provide good all around performance. The tires will wear the inside edges in street use and the outside edges on the race track. This is a good dual purpose alignment. Performance Street - Track Use with Race Tires Front min max Camber (deg) -1.6 -1.8 Caster (deg) 7.5 8.5 Toe -1/16" 0 Rear Camber (deg) -0.9 -1.1 Toe -1/8" -1/16" Notes These settings will provide great track performance. The tires will wear the inside edges in street use, and the car may tend to grab the lanes of the road. Race tires will wear well at the track and provide high levels of grip. This alignment is compromised towards track use. Dedicated Track Car - DOT Tires, poly bushings Front min max Camber (deg) -2.8 -3.0 Caster (deg) 6.5 7.5 Toe -1/16" 0 Rear Camber (deg) -1.5 -1.7 Toe -1/8" -1/16" Notes These settings are a good starting point for a car with polyurethane or stock control arm bushings. This alignment requires DOT race tires to function appropriately. This is a starting point only, testing and monitoring tire temperatures and pressures are required to optimize any setup. Dedicated Track Car - DOT Tires, Spherical Bearings Front min max Camber (deg) -2.4 -2.6 Caster (deg) 6.5 7.5 Toe -1/16" 0 Rear Camber (deg) -1.2 -1.4 Toe -3/16" -1/8" Notes These settings are a good starting point for a car with mono-ball or spherical control arm bushings. This alignment requires DOT race tires to function appropriately. This is a starting point only, testing and monitoring tire temperatures and pressures are required to optimize any setup. Dedicated Track Car - Race Slicks, Spherical Bearings Front min max Camber (deg) -3.0 -3.2 Caster (deg) 6.5 7.5 Toe -1/16" 0 Rear Camber (deg) -2.0 -2.3 Toe -3/16" -1/8" Notes These settings are a good starting point for a car with mono-ball or spherical control arm bushings. This alignment is designed and tested with race slicks, not DOT tires. This is a starting point only, testing and monitoring tire temperatures and pressures are required to optimize any setup.
Thank you! Having the tires installed on Monday. Good information. The car never sees a track. Performance Street set up is the best for the car. Now when I tell the tire tech, I’ll sound like I know what I’m talking about. 😁
thanks again!

I do not track my car and I have had the best wear results with either the specs for a base vette or the pfadt specs. HOWEVER, tell the alignment shop you want the alignment spot on the specs, not within the range.

Exactly. I don't know what's so hard when you go to get a alignment. Tell the tech to put it dead center (like this) on all the green bars for all the settings. Really don't understand why these threads constantly pop up all the time.
