Since camber is fixed with the Cobalt struts and you're not changing tie rod ends (which could change the toe), there should be no alignment changes (significant anyway) from what you want ot do.

Probably not enough to get an alignment for, unless it's been a while anyways. Like Scott said, unless you've ovaled out your bolt holes (or using camber bolts), it should be fixed. If you want to make sure it stays, scribe a mark across the strut and knuckle in 2 places, and make sure they line up when you're putting it back together.

Even with ovaled-out bolt holes (which I used to use), if you scribe a mark (as described above), you'll still be OK. Go for it!!!
