I have an 86 V6 Camaro not lowered and wanted to see what a good daily driver alignment specs would be. I don't really like the stock setup with all the positive camber. I just need something that will wear and handle good but not something super aggresive. Also I drive it through the winter with snow tires. Does anyone have a print off or some numbers I can give to the shop? Thanks!

 

What is "all the positive camber" you're talking about? Stock should be 0 camber or close to it. Stock is going to be your best bet.

 

This is what I use:

Camber -0.25* to -0.30*
Caster: 5.0* (0* cross)
Toe-in, a hint (about 1/32")

Works well and prevents the inside edge of the tires from wearing.

The service settings from the '92 FSM are interesting:

Per Wheel...

Camber: 0.30* +- 0.50*, cross: 0.00* +-0.70*
Caster: 4.80* +- 0.50*, cross: 0.00* +-0.70*
Toe: 0.00* +- 0.10*, cross: 0.00* +-0.20*

This allows camber from 0.80* to -0.20*.

Ok thanks for the help! From what I read these came stock with positive camber to reduce oversteer for poor drivers, and many post say that it causes the tires to wear incorrectly. I had never heard of using + camber anywhere until this. I was thinking 0 camber would be good but wanted to check.

 

I would go for a -0.3 camber in your situation.

 

Thanks! Thats what I was looking for!
