Nice color!! That looks very close to the color of our DGGM 95 SS. I bet those would look pretty cool side-by-side!! ;)

Got the Caprice aligned. Had pulled slightly right and the steering wheel was not centered by 45 degrees since purchase.

The alignment computer did not have a recent model caprice in the data base so I had the mechanic use Chevrolet SS 14-16 specs.

The car is lowered on King Springs KHFL-151SL Front KHRL-152HD Rear and SS specs could not be met without installing shims and offset bolts. So using existing hardware ended up with:
L/R
Front Camber -1.1/-1.6
Front Toe .08/.05
Rear Camber -1.1/-1.5
Rear Tow .17/.07

Camber was minimized as much as possible but outside spec because the car is lowered. Also, the tank was full.

Funny thing, the Caprice got stuck on the lift when coming off, lowered and long wheel base.

Thanks. I like it too. My son is shopping for a Caprice and figured out how rare a retired green 16+ is to find.
