I've never driven a Z06 with the bigger Adco bar that Sam reccomends, but I do know that both Salerno and Braun really liked that setup in '05...of course, that was the year that Strelnieks won SS at...

Yep, at LEAST 1/4" toe in. You'll need at least that to hook up off turns and keep the car under you, in autocross.

Keep in mind, the alignment I gave you is what we found worked well on my car,...

The front doesn't end up being that low, I don't have the measurements, but after experimenting with full drop in the front, we ended up going back up about 1/2-5/8" or so, which was (IIRC) right...

Sorry, Jason, I should have been more clear. The air flow needs to go out through the vanes to be effective. Like John said, a solution that mounts the duct to the spindle is what is needed.
