I'd say leave them the way they are when you're driving on the street. But I have no experience with traction bars.

In the sig I see an anti-sway bar and lower control arms.

When I do alignments I set the front end to specs and then
connect the traction bars so as not to disturb those measurements.
Traction bars are not an alignment altering device when used
properly. They are to locate the control arms.

Traction bars really should be called something else.....-Bob
