Should be the same as a C5? All the pieces are the same... but, again, once you set the alignment bolts out, pull all the spacers behind the dog bones, it'll depend on what ride height you choose to run...

Also depends on how symmetrical your chassis is, and if you're willing to work to improve the symmetry first. That can affect other tuning aspects like corner weighting, alignment range, etc. David Farmer spends a lot of time evaluating & working on symmetry before messing with lowering or trying to determine the range of alignment adjustment.

And if the max camber limit on one side turns out to be different then the other side, you have to decide whether you want to run the lowest-side limit on BOTH sides, or to run the different max settings on each side.

I would rather have equal settings on both sides - I need all the predictability I can get. After having Mr. Farmer go over my '08 Z51 comprehensively, he said that my particular chassis, at my corner-weighted ride height could get about -2.5 camber up front. Maybe about -1.6 out back, IIRC. My car has all stock hardware (...right now...).
