Alignment specs for 2014 2SS - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Very happy with how it handles, feels much more like a performance car. When you turn the steering wheel there is a bit more resistance from the car so your input feels more intentional. It does feel good taking a highway on ramp aggressively, feels like you've got better control of the car and more grip.

I don't have any issues daily driving it and I haven't noticed any substantial tire wear issues. I've had two summers after the alignment and my tires aren't worn out yet with Nitto 555 G2s. I installed coil overs and sway bars just before the alignment, so I had a lot of change all at once, the ride was definitely harsher but I think that was the coil overs, not the alignment.

Did you need anything to get the specs, Aftermarket caster kits or anything?

Axe55 · 09-29-2021, 06:50 AM

I had done all the suspension work, all the BMR parts and coil overs before the alignment but that didn't include anything outside of those kits that was a camber/caster plate.

I also set the front caster to 7 instead of 8, decided that before the alignment so I don't know if that was mechanically limited or not. All other specs exactly the same. I remember him saying one of the specs was difficult to hit, I think it was the toe, but he managed.

Thanks Axe55, The specs just seem sure different then factory, I like a car that tracks straight and I am not fighting to drive on the street. Tire wear is important but as long as I am not going though tires every few thousand miles I am fine. I did get the Detroit Speed caster kit in the link above just encase and the adjustable Toe Rods.

I think you may be expecting to much change from alignment settings. Your other suspension changes are what will really make a difference in how it feels.

Axe55 · 09-29-2021, 01:27 PM

Alignments aren't permanent, if you really hate it you can always put it back.

Joe.G · 09-29-2021, 01:53 PM

I understand all that, Just trying to make a informed decision.

Joe.G · 10-12-2021, 03:20 PM

Alignment Done, Car tracks straight and reacts to driver input quicker, I don't have enough time behind the wheel to to form any other opinion at the moment. I sm still on factory tires, I'll probably mount the ZL1 set up next week. They were able to hit all the specs with out needs any add on kits.

What you need is ZL1 kit?

ZL1 Rims and Tire size. By kits I had Caster and Camber kits but we were able to get the specs with out needing them.

gtstorey · 10-13-2021, 09:42 AM

What were they able to get front caster set at? JPSS recommended more caster than available stock.

Joe.G · 10-13-2021, 12:31 PM

I don't have the print out but the owner who I trust said they were able to get the JPSS Specs.

Axe55 · 10-14-2021, 01:26 PM

Glad you're happy with it, enjoy!

Hi, I need to get the car re aligned because of some suspension work.

Can You Guys tell me the difference I may notice between these,
