For those who track your cars. How much negative camber can you dial in, and what overall specs are recommended?

I'll check the link, thanks. Good to see another 1LE owner in Louisiana. I'm a little north of Alexandria.

You're the third one in the state that I am aware of the other is over in New Iberia.

Mr. Wyndham posted an agressive street alignment (I think it came from PFDAT too). In summary, max out your front camber (-1.5-1.7 I think) and keep the rear about -1.5. I don't like messing with toe myself and try to keep it as close to 0 as possible. If car doesn't turn right after a few track events than you can start playing with toe accordingly.

Rear camber with stock bolts maxes out at around -1.1* and max front is around -1.9 to -2*. Ive set up our car and another 5gen SS that autocrosses with us, im running -1.4* front and -1.1* rear and its a daily driver. He wanted a little hotter in the front so we put him at -1.6* front and again maxxed the rear out at -1.1* both cars totally transformed from horrible understeer cars to alot more balanced cars. He has talked about maxing out the front at -2* for this season

ICT, good info. I HATE under steer. I was looking and posed a question to Pete about alignment specs. Most of my experience has been with a C4 corvette on a square set up. If I compete it'll be in a stock class on a staggered set up. I'm not going to throw cubic dollars at a car.
For a non 1LE SS I was looking at
front: 1.5 neg camber, .25 total toe out, max castor
rear: .75 neg camber, .25 total toe in
