Any difference between Z06 and Base Corvette stock alignment specs?

I lowered my car about a week ago. I'm getting an alignment tomorrow. I just wanted to make sure if there was a difference between the Z06 stock alignment specs vs the base alignment.

Z06Vette.com - Corvette Z06 Forum - Alignment for Street Use

This is the factory specifications for the ZO6, 01 and up. These are different than regular C5 specifications, so some shops alignment machines may not have the right databases loaded to show this:

Front Individual Toe +0.04 degree +/- 0.10 degree

Front Sum Toe +0.08 degree +/- 0.20 degree

Front Individual Caster +6.9 degree +/- 0.50 degree

Front Cross Caster within +/- 0.25 degree

Front Individual Camber -0.70 degree +/-0.50
degree

Front Cross Camber within +/-0.25 degree

Rear Individual Toe -0.01 degree +/- 0.10 degree

Rear Sum Toe -0.02 degree +/- 0.20 degree

Rear Individual Camber -0.68 degree +/- 0.50 degree

Rear Cross Camber within +/- 0.50 degree

For more aggressive track/street use, increase front individual camber to 1.0 degrees, and rear individual camber to .8 degrees, while reducing front toe to .06 degrees, and rear toe to the minimum (.01 degrees). This is a very drivable setup and increases mechanical grip noticeably. Some auto-crossers will get even more agressive, setting rear camber at 1.1 degrees and front at 1.5 degrees, and toe-out the front at .02 degrees, but this will cause a lot of tire wear on the street, and make the car a little "darty" on regular surface streets, but makes them really grab on tight courses on marginal surfaces
