Hello


I was looking for some specs. on a toned down track alignment. It is mainly a track car but will street drive it also.


Thanks in advance

I used the track settings in the owners manual.
No real issues driving on the street with these settings.

Use -.5 Camber on the fronts for the street and your tires will wear even from side to side. OEM performance alignment will use -.8 Camber but over time will wear the inside edge of your tires front tires. Heavy track alignment would be -2.0 and up; you can still drive it on the street but the wheel will not always return to center after a sharp turn and the tires will suffer big time wear on the inside BUT it will corner like its on rails.

Just remember; for action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

admittedly, I've no experience yet with my new C7 but with other cars, I've experienced acceptable street driven wear on the front tires all the way up to -1.5* camber with 1/16" toe in.
Once I went up to -1.7* camber the inside edges started to wear badly. None were daily drivers, just weekend toys.

How long does it take to change from the standard setup to the track set up as displayed in the manual
