Eventually yes but for the next year or so mostly weekend/spirited driving. Does this affect anything?

Take pics of inner and outer edge of your tire after a Sunday drive.

Yes, it does affect the tires.

If the alignment is corrected why would it affect the tires?

To see where your contact patch is. And how big it is. Ideally, you want even wear and heat across the thread after a hard run. If it's on one section and not across the tire. You're not getting the most out of the tires.

I'm still trying to understand how this would come about if I have all the necessary components after the drop, unless I am missing something from my list above shouldn't it be aligned correctly to avoid uneven tyre wear?
