My track height alignment was -2.0 camber, 0 toe front, -1.5 and .05 rear, with +.8 caster.
The car hunts a little on the street. I don’t bring it all the way down, I shoot for 2 fingers between the fenders and the tires.
Be great if I could put washers in for the street. I would increase camber up front to -2.5 and then add a couple washers for the street and aim for -1.5?
i know the ZL1 1LE has camber plates to do this, be great if we could too. I track 5-6 times a year and will daily 9-10K miles.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this one has the chart I wanted.
I want to check the ride height on our 2017 Z51 (FE4 suspension). I have a long ruler with a built in level, so I can get it perfectly vertical when measuring the distance from floor to top of the wheel well arch. The chart above says there is about 8mm difference on the rear measurement depending on where we measure on the arch, but the chart only gives one dimension and doesn't say whether that's measured on the outside or inside of the arch. Any help?

AMT camber kits include a chart that gives camber change per shim.

Sure wish I knew how to make these pics smaller like most other forums.

^^^^^^
That will be very useful to some people, but I'm still trying to figure out what part of my rear wheel arches to measure for ride height (post #22).
