How often should Vettes go in for a alignment? How many miles?

Thanks

Only when it needs one or if you've done something to chang the geomeetry of the suspension such as lowering it. No set interval...

Or if, for some reason, you hit something hard with a tire.

Absolutely on this one! I hit a pot hole awhile back (a nice one!) and I did'nt think too much of it, then I started to notice that I was pulling just a hair to the right! So I went in and got an alignment where at that point the problem was fixed! These tires are too expensive to let them wear down unevenly, get the alignment done!!

What we've found at Pfadt Race Engineering is that when the Corvette's are used on the track with sticky R-Compound tires the lower control arm eccentrics tend to move. For example if you're camber is set at -1.5 degrees and you are driving hard the eccentrics can move and the next thing you know you're at -3 degrees which will tear your tires up. What we've come up with is our camber kit which replaces the short comings of the factory eccentric set up.
