I have just finished converting my C6 LS3 2008 to a Z06 wide body with the front bumper and fenders, rear fenders, Z06 rotors/brakes, and Z06 reproduction wheels with OEM GY Z06 tires. There is no suspension or sway bar upgrade, just original Z51 equipments.

The question is for realignment, shall I go with the C6 or Z06 GM recommended settings?

Can anyone help with the recommended setting numbers?

Thanks

If you are going to track the car, get the Z06 alignment. More negative camber. If street driven and you want the fronts to last longer than 10000 miles, then the regular C6 alignment:

I did the regular alignment on mine and the tires are wearing fine. Well, at least the fronts are wearing fine.

I'm surprised that you have any rears left at all

The fronts on mine were wearing fine with the standard Z51 alignment...but, I was having wear issues in the back. The back tread was wearing far more on the outside of the tire and hardly at all on the inside of the tire (see picture below). I receintlly changed to the Z06 alignmet (front and back). But, it hasn't been long enough to know if it is helping the wear issues. I can say that the car does handle better while autocrossing

You sound like some other friends of mine and I only just met you recently.

I did the C6 alignment since mine is a daily driver and I don't need accelerated tire wear because of the negative camber.

Check your toe setting for wear on the outside.

I had the alignment checked / adjusted several times. My rear toe is 1/32 on each side.

John, you are absolutely correct!
