I talked to my local place ahead of time to let them know what I wanted and took it at a time where the alignment guy wasn't in a hurry and left it with them all day. They still called and said they couldn't get any additional front camber at first so i had to explain to them how to loosen the bolts and "smack it with a hammer" to get to -1.9 in the front.
Where did you buy the bolts?

Would the camber plate rotation get the ZLE close to -2.7 front?

Got the bolts from GM Parts direct:

Rear Toe Bolt: 11611276

You can easily get -2.7 on the ZLE but its a combination of camber plate rotation and then fine tuning. Unfortunately you can't just rotate camber plates for the track as adding camber also affects the toe settings.

Thanks man. Yeah, going to rotate the plates then take it in for the track alignment specs. The kid at Firestone is claiming he can do it. I'm going to find a safe place to do some testing before potentially ruining a track day with a bogus alignment. Might do another autox first as well to test the alignment.
