I am preparing my C5 Z06 for this season.
the car is a 2002 C5 Zo6 , its mods include
LS3 swap
VBP sport springs
Koni sport shocks
Strano front sway bar
oem rear bar
295 Hoosier A6 on oem 18x10.5 rims front
315 hoosier A6 on oem 18x 10.5 rear

I just had the alignment and weights done and wanted to double check the results here

total weight 3254 tank full
lf 857 rf 862
lr 762 rr774
cross weight 49.9%

left front -2.43 deg camber 4.85 caster
right front -2.36 deg camber 5.63 caster
toe set at zero

left rear -1.15 deg camber
right rear -1.17 deg camber
rear toe 0.25

the left front camber is maxed out, right front has about .5-.75 more neg adj


Do these setting look correct for autox?

That all looks pretty good, you are realy close.

I'd go for about -1.5 for camber in the back, one degree is a bit shy.

I'd crank in some toe out in the front for the events, and run zero or a bit in on the street. The car will turn in better with some toe out in the front. Mark the tie rod ends where they are now and go one full turn on each side towards toe out on the track. That will eat tires on the street, so turn them back when you put your street tires back on.

Are you running with SCCA? I'm not completely familar with their current rules, but I know that your car won't be legal to run in the stock class for certain... and with a LS3 swap, you might not be able to run in the SP category. It could bump you straight to XP.

If you're not worried about classing or even running with SCCA, it won't be an issue though.

If it is truly an LS3, i think it would be legal in SSP due to the UD/BD allowance, if memory serves and the C5 and C6 share the same line in the SSP list.

edit: memory failure. Checked the rules, and they are NOT on the same line. Looks like SSM for that swap.

I like the toe and camber settings you have. The car puts power down better and rotates better with rear camber around 1.

If rules allow, I would put a 315 wide tire up front. It fits fine, it just rubs at full lock which doesn't really matter.

Dont lower the car all the way, or you will be on the bump stop constantly.

get a camber kit. Most poly kits come with offset upper control arm dogbones, try and get some more camber in front and bump up caster. also, 315s in front is fine

Your camber should be good, but I would try to get more caster if you can. The C5 and C6 are on separate lines in the SSP rules, so you would likely be either SSM or XP with SCCA.

I know I am solidly in SSM, which sucks as the car is really lightly modded for the class , but it hauls *** with the built LS3. My comp is a modded Lotus with aero, and a heavily modded and blown CRX that placed at Nationals and a turbo miata that is well done. I pray for open courses as they can not keep up if I get space, but the tight courses they own me

I do have a second pair of 315's that I could try on the front, I was afraid of it making the car tail happy

Tail happy's better than push.

+1. The extra grip won't hurt either.
