quick question - alignment - C6 or Z06
a friend of mine has a standard 2007 C6 coupe that has the Z06 wide body kit installed with correct Z06 wheels and tires sizes. if he goes in for an alighment. does he get the car aligned to the Z06 specs because of the tire sizes or the standard C6 specs. i'm thinking the straight C6 because the suspension components are still standard C6 components. the tires may have some impact though, as well as weight, and handling characteristic of the car. i am not an alighment or performance handling expert, so i just dont know. comments, comments, comments. TIA...

I would get the standard alignment. I believe the Z06 specs have a healthy degree of negative camber for more aggressive driving style.
I am running the C6/Z51 specs and I'm not cupping tires. My alignment tech put everything to the exact spec, nothing on the +/- side of the spec.

I've heard of Z06 owners re-aligning their cars to C6 specs if they spend most/all of their time off the track and on the street. The stock Z06 alignment is very hard on tire wear with all the camber.
