I'd be interested in this info as well.

P.S - Saw your car last week in a parking lot. Can't miss that plate.

For corner balancing and full race/track alignment.........give me a call

I work with a local NASCAR SK racer, this process is not required for a typical street driven Corvette

Call Jesse(former GM/Caddy tech)
179 Commerce Way South Windsor, CT 06074
(860) 761-2619
