No man, I already knew every car would be different and I previously stated that. You also think you know what I am allowed to ask which your not. And your not to decide if I should be here or not. I can get my answer from the few who are willing to answer my questions. I am ok with that. I didnt come here to make friends. This forum has always been typically filled with a select few like you, and thats ok.

No it was exactly what I asked for. You provided me with the specifics that I wanted. Thank you.

Some peeps think comparing other setups, no matter how different they are is useless but its not. I like to compare and it helps now and in the past especially if I decide to mod further. This is what the forum is all about: INFORMATION. Not peeps telling each other what they think they need to know. If I wanted the info I didnt ask for, I woulda asked that question in a different thread or did a search.

I messed with the rear a little and it looks to me like all of the camber can be adjusted out.
If all the camber can be adjusted out of the rear (meaning you can get back to stock camber levels), then I don't understand what your question is. You're just driving the car on the street, give it a stock (aka street) alignment. GM's engineers came up with those specs based on a helluva lot more testing and data than any of us have at hand, and those settings will work just as well on a lowered car as they will on a stock car.

If you want some other suggested numbers, try the CTS-V FAQ.

And apparently neither could you.

Oh, and remember, kids, when your () getting all worked up and name calling, your ≠ you're.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but if "all" cars are so very different then why/how could the factory put out stock alignment specs?

Everyone on here tells the OP that "every car and spring is different, so just go get a stock alignment and call it a day"......kind of contradicting.

Now i understand that the factory spec is the most ideal for street use, but the OP may want to give it a shot in his driveway, or at the very least check to see how far outside the spec it is.
