my 2012 ss is completely stock and I am going to have my alignment checked.. what specs should I have the guy try to get them close to?

Why don't you just take it to the dealer you bought it from? My dealer has been sending me notices on a free alignment check since I bought the car. I haven't taken them up on it because I don't have enough miles on the car, and I just got a full suspension upgrade yesterday.

You need to remind whoever does it that you have the FE4 suspension, not an FE3 like the 2010-11 models.

I don't know what your going for, but I agree with bannonm. If you're just having it checked at the dealer they'll just punch in your car and give you an OE alignment.

I would suggest the Aggressive Street for your OEM suspension. Here is EVERYTHING your tech could possibly want to know.

Bush Timing

Step 1. Lift the car on a two post lift and raise it.

Step 2. Loosen the following bolts/nuts:
Front:
---Inner Control Arm Bushing
---Inner Radius Rod
Rear:
---Trailing Arm Bushings (both ends)
---Toe Rod Bushings (both ends)
---Lower Control Arm Bushings (Inner)
---Upper Control Arm Bushings (Rearward)
---Lower Strut Bushings

Step 3.
Lower the car and drive it around the parking lot SLOWLY and on to the alignment lift.

Step 4.
With the weight of the car on the wheels tighten all of the nuts/bolts to spec.

Step 5.
Align the car at the new ride height.

Here are the newest FE2, FE3, FE4 and FE5 OEM and Pedders Alignment Specs.
