Just installed one last week, did not do an alignment and alignment seems fine. Did about 300 miles this week.

Install the strut brace with the car on the ground and it will be fine (no affect on the alignment). If the bar is installed with the car jacked up, it will alter the alignment some amount. The shock towers do noticeably move apart when unloaded (approx 1/8-3/16").
