Same here, though my goal is aggressive specs. I am OK with less tire wear. No sense not contributing to the rest of the front end mods and I get much better tire wear with Continental extreme Contact tires the all the other brands I have tried.

What I find interesting is the alignment end result is never the same and they always say it is because of the changes I have made to the suspension or something is bent. Of course, they could right but often if it was the front last time it is the rear the next time.

I always wait but I am beginning to think that they hurry because of that and that is part of the reason they can never get it same side to side on either end. I know what the sheet should look like when they get it right and they have in the past but for the last several alignments they only get close.
