front end alignment
 
I'm taking the Corvette (2004) in next week for an alignment. We only race the car although it's still street-legal. The rear suspension has been completely out when we put the new converter and gear in and also had to change rear spindles to get the wheels to fit. I've also adjusted the ride height all the way around to get it lower on the stock bolts. Think it would be a good idea at this point to just have the alignment looked at since we've changed and replaced some things.

Any suggestions on what to tell the alignment shop to get a "racing" alignment? Or just have them put it to OEM specs?

Stock specs should be good . I'm assuming you still have power steering and stock or similar to stock front wheels . I believe specs call for 7* positive camber ---Trevor

Yes, we still have PS but the front wheels are 17" x 4" Bogarts with a narrow M&H tire. Will that make a difference?

I'm sure the "stock" alignment specs. on a Corvette are not set up for straight line driving on a 4" wheel...
Use an alignment shop that is "up to speed" With your Corvette suspension in a drag race application... I'm sure it will not be "stock" specs...
