I'm getting an alignment on Saturday. My dilemma is that I'm planning on buying front endlinks, and strut bar in the near future, and maybe installing it within a month. Does that warrant a new alignment or will it be fine?

install first then align in a month. for real the strutbar or swaybar makes an impact on the suspention. you can do it half a$$, or you can do it the right way.

You will be fine. No alignment needed after those mods.

neither the strut bar nor the endlinks change the suspension geometry. you will not need to get an alignment after installing them, assuming you don't somehow muck up something else.

Hey, sorry I'm new to the forum but I'm getting coilovers in a couple of days and I was wondering if anyone can give some specs on alignments and whats best for street use. (caster, camber, toe, etc)

everything should stay stock except the rear. they wont be able to so just tell them to get it as close to factory spec as possible
