Personally I don't think it makes a difference if the driver is a novice or an experienced race driver. If the change raises the level of handling of the car, and makes it more predicable, then it's better for either driver.

I will need to buy another set of Avons next year before I go on vacation again. At that time I will have the entire suspension set up checked by a race shop, so I'm not that concerned about the alignment. Although, sway bars should not change the alignment as they do not change the location of any suspension components.
