Default Alignment specs

I just put new ZO6 elndlinks and sway bars on my 99. I still have the stock shocks, and F-45 suspension, and I also have stock wheels. I was wondering if I needed to use different alignment specs due to the bigger swaybars.

Larger diameter sway bars and metal endlinks won't change your suspension dynamics at all, imo... if any, I'm sure you'll still be within OEM spec range. I'm sure, more of the alignment guru's will chime in and help you out further...

:cheers:

Installing sway bars and end links wont change the alignment. It can change the counrter weighting when you install adjustable end links but just installing the Z06 parts you will have no problems and the car should handle turns much better.
