Corner Carving Suspension Specs

My Z06 needs to be realigned after having some more mods to the 427. I'm running DRM suspension goodies but would like to hear what you all recommend for caster, camber, and toe in for a car with 18" front and 19" rear tires that is used primarily to go to the local Coffee Shop but also for weekend roadcourse racing and SCCA events...Thanks and Happy New Year

Here is a suggestion for a compromise track/street setup:
Camber: -1.25 front, -1.0 rear (almost within stock limits)
Caster: max positive, matched side to side
Toe: 0.0 to 0.1 front (out), -0.1 to -0.2 rear (in)

To improve handling at the cost of tire wear, use more negative camber in front, slight toe out in front, slight toe in rear.

Agreed, and mark the cams stock and your new setting so you can do 2 things:
1) See at a glance if they move (they almost allways will)
2) Go back to stock whenever you want (you will have to reset toe but that is very easy)
