Default alignment specs

so recently i bought some enkei RPF1's from mic_crispy. im getting my fenders rolled and the bumper tab relocated this weekend and of course i need my alignment done prior. i bought a 1-year alignment package from NTB so that's where i will be doing the alignment.

question is.. what specs should i be looking at? i'd like to stay 1 finger gap all around and the wheels are 17x9 +45 all around with 225/45 upfront and 255/40 out back. ive just got through reading the RPF1 threadnaught and it didnt really help much.

any help is appreciated.

the one in Sachse off Hwy 78. i bought the 1-year alignment package and a new battery back in march. only reason im going there is because i got the 1-year alignment package. last time i went there the guy doing the alignment took like 2 hours.

ive heard 2 up front and 2.5 in the rear as far as camber and just stock toe settings. ive also heard that you need 3 in the back. i want to go with the lowest i can cuz its my daily driver and wont see any track time.

I took mine to Rich's Performance & Muffler in Wylie behind the Post Office. His crew does great work and was in and out quick. Anyway, I had them set mine to -1.5 front and -2.5 rear. I'm lowered to about 1 finger gap all around. Handles great.

I see you from time to time, though usually I'm not in my S. We just move to Woodbridge in Sachse from Wylie.

Most places, including NTB wouldn't touch my car because is was so low. One place recommend that I go to were I did because they do a bunch of custom set-ups on Corvette owner's cars from LG Motorsports.

hmm.. well if NTB doesnt wanna align my car they are gonna have a problem today. they are gonna pay someone to align it because i bought the 1-year alignment package. if NTB gives me a crap i'll be sure to go check out Rich's today.

i wanna do 1-finger gap all around too so im going to ask them to set the camber to -1.5 and -2.5 and go from there. thanks bro!
