do i need to get an alignement after changing sway bars and adding strut bars.

it seems like they only deal with when the car is cornering so it is jsut sitting therer when you put it on then you wouldnt need an new alignement?

pfff... I didn't.

But then again, I didn't notice a change in alignment when I added my sway bars.

Strut bars, of course not.

If you look at endlinks, you know they won't affect anything. They are kinda flexible and move around and bolt on to the holes on lower arms.

So you are getting thicker sway bars, right? If so, you have to use thinner bushings that come with. Brackets are basically same for all aftermarket sway bars using stock mounting holes. They just use thinner bushings. Wait till you get new sway bars. New bushings usually come with sway bars.

IIRC, they're both the same poly urethane material. Sell the ones you have sitting in your room, they're no good to you once you get the new sway bars.
