Base C6 wheel alignment specs etc
So, I have about 28,000 miles on my MN6 C6 with base suspension and I added Z51 sway bars and pfadt poly bushings...
Had tire wear on the outside of the front tires, rears are wearing evenly and are ok with ample tread left...I got a deal on less than 1/2 worn fronts (evenly worn and in great shape) and put them on the car yesterday...
I'm going to get a 4 wheel alignment with a very reputable local alignment shop on Friday and I wanted to get suggestions on specs...I hear Pfadt issued some specs they suggest for anything from base street driven to tracked and modded cars...
Anyone have any suggestions based on my car with the upgraded sway bars etc?

I don't have the .pdf file on my phone, but run a search for Pfadt's alignment sheet. They have several different sets of specs depending on intended use. It's a great starting point.
Someone near a PC may be able to help out and lost the sheet. If not, I'm sure it's on their website.
