What can I expect by swapping in the F80 LCA? Better camber, worse caster, alignment needed right? I don't track the car but drive aggressively both on windy roads and the highway in terms of straight line speed.
Same here, 2014 AH3 with 225/40/19 MPSS on 442M wheels

Better camber for sure, increased caster unless you also fit the F80 Tension struts, you'll love it for windy roads.

Alignment is more than needed, the LCA will completely change the toe so you can't even drive out.

I just want to still have confidence in buying the PSS regardless of whether or not I swap in the F80 LCA.
On that wear aspect I can't comment other than saying nothing of notice is showing for my tyres.
