FSTB/RSB & wheel alignment

I have to get my wheel alignment checked because I recently hit a deep pothole which bent my rim. I have a Stillen FSTB & RSB.

Should I remove these prior to having the wheels aligned?

Thanks for your help.

they will charge you more to remove the crap and put it on, so the answer is yes.

umm, these mods dont affect alignment at all. you dont have to remove them. if you messed up your struts then you might want to remove the fstb so they can remove the old strut but i wouldnt even go that far. neither the fstb or rsb will get in the way or affect alignment. they could affect handling if you only had one side of the rsb or fstb bolted down but you should be good to go.

thanks for the info...I kinda thought that was the case but I wasn't 100% sure.....hopefully the dealership won't give me a hard time...

the car seems to drive straight but I wanted to be sure by getting it checked anyway

10-4. im going in to get a strut replaced under warranty and im having the alignment done at the dealer from now on. my girlfriend popped one my michelins and i took it firestone to have the alignment done. i had a lifetime contract but i dont think im going back. the dealer is the only one around here that has a method for adjusting caster which firestone says cannot be adjusted.
