Default suspension question

hey, i have a 2007 mustang gt(roush clone), and now that the inside, outside and exhaust is done, im now starting on the suspension. Ive kept everything Roush, just love the look. Anyway, I just bought the roush rear springs and rear shocks, and will be installing them as soon as they arrive. I plan on getting the front springs and struts along with both the front and rear roush stabilzer bars(to make up the complete stage 2 suspension package) in the next 1.5 to 2 months. Me and my boss will be installing all. I figure doing the rear shocks and springs one day and then the front about a month or two latter will be a lot better than trying to do it all in one day.
My question has to do with the alignment ive been told ill need after i do this suspension upgrade. When i do just the rear shocks and springs, Will i need to get the alignment then? Or only after i do the front? Im taking it to the dealer for the alignment, and i dont want to pay for two seperate alignments(one now for replacing the rear stuff, and another alignment in a month or two when i do the front)...Please forgive me if this sounds like a silly question, im a car idiot but im learning so much from you guys on this site, thanks again...

No need for an alignment in the rear, its a solid axle. When you do the front you will need to get an alignment though I never did and I've had my springs for 2-3 months, I never had any problems.
