More people need to be aware that:
1. You don't need an alignment with new tires
2. Factory adjustments on this car are limited to front and rear toe
3. Factory specs are a very broad range

If you're getting a generic alignment on this car, you should not be paying much for it because you won't be getting much *if anything* out of it.


Depending on the shop, asking for a certain spec like 0 toe sometimes goes a long way to get better the -.08 and .1 side to side though.


But is very tech/shop dependent so YMMV, but it never hurts to ask
