Alignment help please

I'm going to have DMS springs, revalved Bilsteins and 18x9.5 Z06 wheels installed. Do these sound like correct alignment specs when I get it done afterwards:
(Caster) 4*
(Camber) -.7* to -.1*
(Toe) 0

Or do I have them mixed up??

Thanks, Joe

Re: Alignment help please

You have the numbers in the right places. I think factory caster is closer to 5.3... I run +4.5 caster with -1.8 camber 0 toe

FOr street use (and some autocross), the toe and camber are great....

Re: Alignment help please

Maybe this would've helped too. The car is a daily driver, sees the strip occasionally, and is never autox.

Re: Alignment help please

For straight line and daily driving I would stick with -.5, just to get better turning on the street. But you may want to ask in the drag race section...
