Addison Wheel Alignment
I see in the FAQ that there are differences in the Z06 (FE4) and non Z06 (FE1 & FE3) wheel alignment specifications. Can I assume the differences are biased toward track use? My car will only see street use, should I advise the highly recommended area shop to use non Z06 specifications? Also my steering wheel is slightly off center, is this something that can be easily addressed during the alignment process?

When I had mine done at Addison, I told him to do an "aggressive street" alignment. You can tell him what you are looking for and he will do it however you want.
Edit: Yes, they will get the wheel perfectly straight.

So far I'm impressed, I spoke with them and they asked if the car was "altered" and how I wanted it aligned.
I have an appointment for next Saturday and he said "I'll understand if it's raining or snowing you can cancel".

these guys have been doing alignments for like 30 years.
Told me to take it for a ride and readjusted the steering wheel on the spot. I wouldn't trust anybody else for an alignment.
