Question GT Spec bars and alignment

I just got an alignment 2 weeks ago and I've been looking into purchasing a set of GT spec front and rear braces. Installing these would mess up the alignment since they require the bolts of the spring basket to be removed, right? Also, would these bars make it difficult for the alignment tech to correctly align the car?
One more thing, does the gt spec rear lateral brace clear the Greddy Evo2exhaust?

Realignment is not neccessary. You don't remove the bolts in the rear, only the nuts. I marked my bolts in case they moved on me, but they didn't. Rear was a 10 min job.

In front, the bolts DO need to be removed. I haven't installed my front bar yet b/c I couldn't get the nuts loose. Gonna try again with air tools in a couple days.

Not idea on the rear lower bar; I didn't get it, as I have Nismo exhuast.

For future alignment, the rear bar would need to be removed, but it's just the two nuts that have to come off (or at least loose), anyway. Shouldn't be an issue. Front bar does not interfere with anything alignment related.

can the bolts be moved easily? Should be extra cautious when installing the bar?

I didn't try to move the bolts, so I don't know how easily they turn. I just know they didn't move while loosening, removing and re-torquing the locking nuts. To be safe, just mark the position of the bolts with a sharpie and keep an eye on it. If it does happen to turn, you can re-align it easily, but I know a couple others that have installed the bar and didn't have any issues with it either.
