Hello,
I have a 1969 Z/28 camaro, the front end has been lowered by using shorter Hotchkis springs, dropped 2.5". I am installing SPS adjustable upper control arms. What is the best or ideal front end alignment for street driving, not racing? I am running 18" F1 tires and Intro wheels.
Thanks in advace!

there are no specs per se for this - i would shoot for 2-6 degress positive caster the more the better but keep in mind the more you have the harder it will be to turn 2-3 would be fine on the street
on camber id shoot for 0 to -1 degree , the more negative the better the car will take corners at the expense of inner edge wear/ toe in id set for 1/16 - 1/8" toe in - these are ballpark numbers id suggest

One note with stock uppers one would be hard pressed to get +4.5*caster. Other then that the specs look fine

We do these setting with SPC or Global arms and out AFX tall spindles:
Caster- 4.5-5.5 degrees
Camber- .5 dgegrees negative
Toe- 1/16 toe in
