Does your car have active steering? That's dirt cheap. My dealer charges close to $600 cause of active steering.

That's great, does that mean that there won't be any tire wear? Does the ride suffer as much as people say it does?

Yeah, I like Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim. Very friendly and helpful. Got my alignment done there before on another car.

I think its still going to have more tire wear than stock but should be better now. Like I've been saying its not as bad as I thought it was going to be. No one complained about the ride yet. They complained more about the RFT road noise than the ride quality now.

You won't.. I thought I would regret it too but I"m really happy with it. For me as long as it doesn't rub or scratch and I could do full turns i'm happy
