Before the event photo op.
Alignment settings...BigO tire, stock adjustment capability. I requested the factory Z28 settings but this is what they were able to get me.
Camber:
LF: -1.7, RF: -1.2
LR: -1.0, RR: -1.1
Caster:
L: 5.8, R: 6.3
Toe:
LF: 0.06, RF: 0.05 (out)
LR: -0.02, RR: -0.01
Overall impressions of the car on Z28 suspension are good. The car is neutral and very agile. The car will understeer at the high limit, but the car is eager to rotate at medium/low speed via throttle, aggressive wheel inputs (tossing/flicking it through tight stuff). Before I would need more throttle to get the car to dance through the cones. Slaloms...the car is better but still needs some work...at the end of the day I'm still fighting a 3800+ lb car with 340 TW street tires, stock subframe bushings, and limited alignment range. It might get better with some more bar, but the balance is good.
My next move:
- Race Rubber
- Solid subframe bushes
- Camber/Caster Plates/Bolts/Adjusters (I'd hazard a guess I'll be happy out at -2/-1.5 camber, full .5 deg of toe out in front)
- Strut tower bracing
...go from there.
Summary: If you're looking for a ready to bolt-in, warranty'd (if dealer installed) package that will transform your ride into a turn-key track car, look no further.
