Default Rear subframe lock kit, alignment after?

After fitting a whiteline rear subframe lock kit, is a geo setup necessary? The rear doesn't have any adjustment does it?

The rear does have toe adjustment and normally when you fir the subframe lock bolts the subframe will shift a little to one side so yes, you'll need alignment.

When i fitted mine i didnt even need to un-torque the big four subframe > chassis leg bolts, so in my case zero movement = no rear toe change.

Is this kit recommended for road use? I've heard it increases NVH and chassis wear.
