What is the prefered alignment settings for a S2k? Or are they even adjustable? The car is stock and on street tires.



Edit, it's a 2000my.

Some good info here although not street-tire centric...

Even on street tires the car needs more front bar, IMHO (just not a ton more)...

Try this link to Vette Brakes & Parts - final analysis will be how it feels to you, but it's a good start point

:idea:
Front 2.3 neg. camber. Max castor. 1/8" toe out. total.

Rear. 1.3 neg. camber 1/4" toe in. total.

That would be pretty close.
The winning part is up to you. :)

What is max castor these days in a Vette? and what tires where you on with those settings?? Guessing 710's?

I *wish* I could get 1/4 total toe in on the rear of some of the Porsches!!

It's not my car, I can't afford an Honda(unless it's free- like my civic was). I'm trying to help a friend out. He just got back from Iraq and bought the S2K.
