Alignment Needed After Install Rear Subframe Lock Bolts?
Would anyone recommend getting a new alignment after installing rear subframe lock bolts?

Technically, they could throw off your rear alignment. The rear subframe has a decent amount of give and installing them would line the subframe up and change your current settings. The idea behind them is that you have them installed when you get your alignment. Remove them for daily cruising. When you reinstall them for a track day, it brings all the alignment angles back to your alignment spec and locks them in. Naturally, you could also just leave them in after your alignment an not worry about the changes in alignment spec due to subframe bushing deflection.

Its more of a "lawyer clause" from Whiteline because these do lock up the rear subframe, introducing more stress and vibration than it was normally designed for. Most people run with them full time but its just something to be aware of.
