Thank you! Very happy with how it turned out! Have been driving it every chance I get. Went in it for a sweet tooth craving for the wife the other night lol. Up too 143 miles now

Alignment done as well per Ridetech instructions

Brian, congratulations on completion, great color/wheel combo. Enthusiastic pit crew!

Question (not complaint) : how come so little caster? I would have thought at least 4* if not 6*? Seems like the alignment shop has used generic 68 Camaro reference data (which gives the red and green highlights) rather than contemporary set-up numbers?
Do you know the specs from your front clip vendor?

thank you! wheels ended up matching by luck lol. found them used on craigslist after i picked the body color

front subframe is stock, with a ridetech level 2 kit. handed the ridetech instructions to the alignment guy and said this is what i need

from my instructions when i bought the kit in 2015 - Have the alignment shop set the car with ½ degree negative camber, 2-3 degrees positive caster, and 1/8” toe in.

double checked my instructions with what is online now 2019 and they are different.....now online - Have the alignment shop set the car with ½ degree negative camber, 3-5 degrees positive caster, and 1/16”-1/8” toe in.

This caster setting sounds better.....assuming the arm geometry is the same as yours (same part number upper and lower wishbones) this will give better turn-in, slalom and high speed stability.

What about tire wear? Car will be 100% street use for now, no foreseeable track use
