Default Need alignment specs for Performance Street

I have a 2011 GS With 19/20 wheels. Running 285 fronts and 345 rears.I have an appointment next week for an alignment looking for specs if available? I saw specs from Pfadt but I think they were for a bace c6? Car is lowered all the way on stock bolts. Would it be the same with my set up?Thanks in advance.

This is what I will be going with. The first alignment Street Performance.

I have the max of the Performance Street settings on my Z06. Looking for good tire wear but not kill all handling.

-0.9 degree front camber and -0.6 degree rear camber. As close to zero toe as possible front and rear, but no toe out.

Fitted new tires last week and alignment to minimum PFADT performance street/Track. No2 on the PFADT sheet.
Michelin 295 f 345 r

-1.1 f cam -0.7 r cam -1/16 toe f -1/16 toe r

Feels great on the street and a little understeery/pushy mid corner on the track. Thinking seriously about having a street setup and a track setup.

Hope that helps some.

Have a great day.

Kneel.

Watching this for specs. I need a good setup, but need to keep the tires from getting ate-up as my car is a DD.

Mine is a fun only car so does not see many mile, maybe a tankful a month. Tires will grow old before I wear them out so I was not to concerned with Pfadt street numbers.

Has to be proven to me anyway how they will wear.

The Pfadt alignment specs allow less error and are more moderate in the first street application than the factory specs.
If you are concerned about tire wear I would go with the Pfadt alignment specs.
