ALKs + H-Brace = Alignment Issues?

I recently had some Whiteline ALKs put in, and in retrospect I should have asked them to throw on an H-brace I had as well. Kinda makes me wana make an upgrade path flowchart post (if this is off, you may as well...). Eh, someday.

Anyway, in taking off the bolts to mount the brace, will I mess up my alignment? There are the caster adjusting bushings in these ALKs, if it matters.

You can mark the bolts but still won't 100% accurate

Negative, it's a Megan racing one, like so:

It's not unlike the SPT one, just different crossover shape and, well, color.
