ebay ones work just fine...

i know at least for the UPPER braces you dont need any type of alignment afterwards... tho im not sure about the lowers cause i havent used them yet... uppers are VERY EASY TO INSTAL... just 2 nuts removed from the tops, pop the strut bars ontop of those strut nuts and just put the nuts back and tighten them down.... and just remember to tighten everything down and your golden...

which of these would be better because the grip part looks different

the first link is the rear strut bar. the second link is the front strut bar. would be cheaper to buy the full set insted of buying them seperatly.

FALSE

It makes the chassis more rigid so that the suspension can do what it was designed to do with less chassis flex.
