I've got about 2.5 degrees neg camber on my front.. quite extreme for the road but doesn't tramline, and works much better for serious cornering.
Only got there cos of the SPC upper arms though, never got anywhere near with stock arms.

Yours looks like a similar measurement, and with stock arms..... (Gulstrand mod?)

I'm running stock arms & no Gulstrand mod but have 3 deg negative camber The car doesn't follow ruts in the road & doesn't suffer adverse tyre wear, but goes around corners as if it's on rails. So far the only limitations I can find with the set up in this car is me. The more you push it, the more it likes it

Take a look a global-west (DSE is WAY overrated--and over-priced). I run all GW stuff on my Gen-II Z/28. The geometry is updated and you don't have to worry about the alignment problems the stock, 1960's technology suspension presents. I cost about $1,400 (US) to replace the upper and lower control arms with the GW arms. No amount of adjustments, shims or alignment tricks could have made the difference these bolt-on parts made (see my thread in GEN-II "Free beer & hookers") I went with the coil-over arms, so I could adjust the srpring rate and ride height. It was more expensive but worth the cost, in my opinion.
