Default Wheel alignment

I had my new tires MPAS 4ZP tires delivered. Will be getting an alignment done for new tires. What would be a good set up for street, I don’t track so looking for a set up that good for handling and good for wear on tires. Does anyone have a screen shot of what their numbers before/ after from alignment machine. That will help me understand more. Thanks

I found one screen shot of a street alignment doing a search but would like more to compare as I’m not that knowledgeable on Alignment numbers !

Go to a good high performance alignment shop and ask them what would be a good setup. Most shops will just pull up xxxx C7 Corvette and set it to OEM spec. A good performance shop will ask you, what your driving habits are.

Make sure the alignment shop you choose can set the rear caster. You can't do that with the alignment machine.

Doing the 4-wheel alignment correctly is something many shops don't (know how to) do. It requires special equipmentt and extra time, making it more expensive than a basic alignment. It is, however, worth the time and expense.

GM Street and Track alignemnt specifications are are:



Note that DSC Sport Controller specifications are slightly different than these.
