Do you need alignment after spring install?

After a spring install, I realize that the car needs to be re-aligned. But do I need to keep the back seat out of the car so they can alight the rear for caster/camber/toe? I wasn't sure if the rear gets aligned as well in this instance. Any help here?

The back seat should not need to be removed for alignment, also, wait a couple weeks for the springs to settle for the alignment. They will also confirm if you need a camber kit at this time.

Yes you do for the INSTALL the springs, but not for the alignment.

The springs are about to be installed....I am putting on the H&R OE Sport springs. The reason I was asking about needing to get behind the back seat was that I didn't know that if you need to access any of the top bolts when aligning the car--or are the rear ones tightened into place during the install and you don't have to touch them after that.
