Default C7 Street Alignment Question

I know it's been discussed numerous times, but the search feature is useless.

Can anyone tell me what the preferred alignment is for a 2019 GS, for street use? Thanks in advance.

It's not OEM but, FWIW, DSC recommends the following alignment specs:

The top setting of Street/Occasional Track is approximately the setting when the cars are delivered from the factory. I found my Z07 was set at -1.0 degrees to -1.1 degrees at all 4 wheels when I checked it 2 days after taking delivery and 300 miles accumulated on the car.

If you want easy on tires settings you will need to be somewhere in the -0.6 to -0.9 camber range or maybe even less. Here is the chart showing the factory alignment settings for the street. The track settings are not in the FSM and are only mentioned in the OM. However, there is a Feb. 2016 TSB that describes how to do the track alignment and which settings to use.

FSM alignment settings:

The difference between left and right front camber settings is more than likely to offset the road crown if the car is driving on the right side of the road center line as the car will tend to pull toward the most positive camber setting.


Track alignment settings so you can see the differences:
