Front end alignment specs? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hib Halverson · 06-20-2015

For a street driven ZR-1 where handing performance is more important than tire tread life.

Camber -½° in the front -¼° at the rear
Front caster...as much as you can get with those camber settings.
Front toe zero (Note: the front end parts must be in good condition if you're going to set zero front toe.
Rear toe 1/32 to 1/16-in per side.

The above is the alignment specs I've used since I bought my ZR1 in 1995.

PS: I just reread your post and it says track days.

The above alignment config. is good for street but not for track. If you're going to track the car. For camber use -1.5° in the front and -1° in the rear. All the front caster you can get and zero front toe and 1/16-in rear toe per side.

Just to clarify: When I wrote the car tracks great I didn't mean it drives well on the track I don't track my car. I meant to point out that the car just wants to go straight effortlessly no pull in either direction when I am going straight at any speed the car just wants without much steering effort to continue in a straight line with the steering wheel in what feels like a happy place.
