The Dinan plates are a fixed plate, so your settings will be fixed in a new position that is shifted over and more negative than stock. Yes, you will need to have an alignment done on the front. It is not doing anything in regard to the rear, but you might as well have it all checked anyway.

The computers that the shop use will tell them to align the car to factory specs. You'll need to tell them what you want, which should be provided in a piece of paper from Dinan.

If you install these and drive the vast majority of your time in a straight line, a) you're wasting money and b) you will wear the inside edge of your tire out prior to the rest of it. It is actually something to be extra careful of because how often do we pay attention to the inside edge of our tires?

The whole purpose is to get an even contact patch under hard cornering, giving up the contact patch in a straight line.
