Alignment + New suspension question

I replaced my suspension on my 2002 SE with aftermarket and I am going to get an alignment today. The shop said that can only do the rear if it has independant suspension(Pretty sure I remember us NOT having independant suspension on the rear when I was doing the install, HAH).

Anyway, would the new suspension throw off my rear alignment, or only my front?

If it will throw off my rear, and I need to get it aligned, is there anything special that I need to get this done?

I appreciate the help.

That makes no sense. Go to another shop cause the rear being non independent has nothing to do with it. They do what is called a thrust alignment where they align the front wheels off the rear. I 've had my car aligned twice with no problem.

the back wheels go straight to the axel so they can move or be set off ... just like boondoxmax said only the front would be off and they are set to the rears
