We definitely want to encourage as many people as possible to attend track events with their Camaros!
Hotchkis quick facts:
· With stock and our sport coils we have seen minute ride height variances, with most cars at or under 1/16” and only one with a corner measurement variance of 1/8”
· Even after 1000’s of punishing street and track miles we have not seen our sport coils settle. We design our coil springs to be low stressed and spec high tensile excellent quality steel to eliminate any possibility of material fatigue. Our coils are preset during manufacturing, compressed to coil bind to ensure proper load height, shot peened to relieve material stress and most important, are made in the USA.
· So far we have not found it necessary to grind out any alignment holes to achieve a proper street/track performance alignment.

We determined our recommended alignment settings through street and track testing using the stock Pirelli tires. These settings are a great place to start offering acceptable tire wear and grip in a variety of performance driving conditions. Driving styles, track condition, tire selection, tire pressure and most importantly tire temperatures across the face of the tire are the determining factors of final alignment settings.
