Changing sway bars
I've been thinking about upgrading my sway bars to C6 Z51 bars. I was curious if you need to get an alignment done after doing this.
Thanks

I upgraded my stock C5 sway bars to Z06 sway bars/shocks with no alignment problems, but not sure about going to C6. I suspect it shouldn't be a problem.

I've also gone with the C5 Z06 sway bars and didn't have any alignment issues. I suspect the same would be true with the C6 Z06 bars.
