My local dealer tells me I should have my 2000 convertible aligned after this install. Is he feeding me a line of ?? or the the truth? Thanks in advance for all replies.

I just had mine installed by ECS and that was not needed. The tire rods are not touched, that would be the only time you may need an alignment or if you slamed your Vette. I had mine lowered with the stock bolts a few yrs back and had it aligned just in case and it was not out. Don't worry about the Z06 sways

The only thing that needs to be aligned is the mis information that guy if feeding you!

Adding different sway bars has NOTHING to do with the alignment. You need to go back there and,,,,well never mind! I could have FUN with that person! I would have a BLAST making him look STUPID!
