Alignment specs
 
I lowered my C7 Z51 last week and yesterday I noticed the steering wheel is off centered. I am assuming the alignment is off. Can anyone make any suggestions on some alignment specs? My car is primarily a street car and if anything I might race take it to a road course just to see what it does.

I aligned to DSC's track specs when I got new tires and have been really happy with it. I'm sure their street alignment would be good for your purpose. Just make sure wherever you take it can adjust the rear caster (takes a special tool I think). Also, it will cost a bit more if you do the track alignment due to the added labor to loosen the control arms and pull the 16 washers.

Thank you for the help. I’m going to do this next week.

The alignment shop recommended these. They do all of the Corvettes for a local club. I got 30k miles out of tires on my previous C7 after they aligned it.

Are the specs the same for all C7s?

Are the specs the same for Z06 and GS the same for the base model and Z51 ??

Since camber is such a personal choice,some will say yes and some will say no. So I'll leave this here for your own interpretation. Rear caster should be checked properly regardless of what the car is being used for.

The alignment spec above does not say whether it’s an alignment for daily driving or for track use. For those seeking an alignment optimized for daily comfort and reducing tire wear that is important to know. The spec below provide better specificity.
