CM c6 alignment spec /ride control issue
Somewhere I saw an alignment spec to get the max tire wear .I've seen it for c5's on one of the forums a few years ago .

Anyway I'm looking for max tire wear .I'm a NON aggressive driver (I just look mean )

2008 vert ,std LS3 ,no mods ,std model no performance packages .does have mag ride ,oh and it's silver .


Issue #2 I got the message yesterday "SERVICE RIDE CONTROL---DO NOT EXCEED 158mph " I do have an appointment next week at a dealer .The ride has been a little hard lately but I've also increased my tire pressure up to 34lbs cold.

i set all my C-5 and C-6 corvettes at "0" camber on the front after inside wear problems on my first 97 C-5.

I agree about 0 camber but the other items are toe in/out and caster .If I remember correctly the front and rear is different except for camber.
