GT3 Sway Bars

Just swapping out the sway bars won't require an alignment.

I think you need new drop links to install the GT3 bars, maybe someone can confirm that. If you use adjustable drop links just make sure that the shop that does the work sets the car up on a level floor to make sure there is no pre-load in the bars

No alignment needed when swapping AR bars. Just remember to check the bolts for tightness after you drive around a little. Other than that, you should be in good shape.

I have a set of front TRG drop links with only a few thousand miles on them to go with your new GT sway bar. Take a look. $200 I think they are around $500 retail. If you can get them, they are considered the best dl's available.
why upgrade sways and use the stock wimpy dls'? defeats the purpose of the upgrade..... ok the hard sell is ending.
