Talk to me about alignment options...
My latest Vette Brakes catalog lists two different sets of C3 alignment specs for street cars; one for everyday driving and one that purports to give much sharper responses while still being streetable.
Has anyone run the second package? I'd be curious as to whether there's a big difference in the response, and whether this package causes extra tire wear. :steering:

In the front I am running:
Camber: -.5*
Caster: 3*
Toe: 0
You may want a little toe in like VBP recommends. Get as much caster as possible, I noticed a huge difference from the ~1 I had before the alignment. The -.5* camber has not caused any abnormal wear that I've seen. You can contact VBP, I'm sure they'd be happy to talk with you about it, although getting real-world experiences from us is always a good idea. :thumbs:
