Hi there, here are some good alignment specs.

Z06 Specs

Front

Camber -0.5
Caster 6.0
Toe 0.0

Rear

Camber -0.10
Toe +0.10

DRM Recommended Alignment Specs

Front

LF -1.5 deg camber RF -1.5 deg camber
LF 6-7 deg caster RF 6-7 deg caster
Front toe setting 0 or 1/16 inch toe in

You can set the front camber in the range of -1.5 to -2.0.
The -2.0 setting might be better for you.

Rear

Camber settings LR -1.0 RR -1.0
Toe setting LR 1/16 toe in RR 1/16 toe in

Make sure you run toe in. You can run a little less toe than this if you want.


-Jeremy

Should I use the Z06 specs with stock tires?
