Agree with Walrus and Kyle. You definitly need an alignment. If the caster is off that will contribute to a loose,sloppy feel. It sounds from your tire choice that you must plan on doing a bit of autocrossing. The stock diameter for your car would be 25.4 inches. The 195/50/15's have a diameter of 22.7 inches. That is going to throw your speedo way off. At an indicated 75mph you are probably only going about 65 to 68 mph. With gas prices close to $3.00 gal you might want to save the Bridgestones for autocrossing and use a taller tire for everyday commuting.

Good luck. Jim
