Would a proper garage with laser alignment have the specs on a computer program? They sold Camaros from Vauxhall dealerships in the UK so you would think someone would have the specs over here.

Car Details:'99 Z28 A4 Modified :D
Best ET: 12.0 @ 116 mph (0-60ft of 1.8 s)
Location:Leiden-Netherlands (car isnt though :( )
there are some specs in a link from sam strano floating about, was gonna say ill look, but found them :)


LF and RF Camber: -2.5 degrees
Toe was slightly out
Caster: 4.5 degress

Now this is for autocross + handling
Basically though you want as much on the caster adjustment as possible +ve, i always run this, then set the camber, prob anywhere from -0.3 to -1 depending on how you like the car to handle and how much you want to scrub the tyres off for no returns if you dont track race the car. toe aeound zero, or adjusted as necessary if the car tram lines :)
