Trond,

No, the sway bar will not effect the alignment. IF the swaybar is adjustable (the links that is) you will want to be sure you have no "preload". That is when the car is on the ground and settled at it's normal height, the sway bar should have no tension on it. The adjustable links alow you to adjust their length to eliminate any preload. (The stock links ARE NOT adjustable)

The non-compliance toe links and rear beam bushing mods are to eliminate rear toe change under extreme loads. If you track your car and really push it, the tail will get unstable the harder you push it. This is due to the rubber bushings in the toe link.(inside connection to the rear beam) It is also due to the bushing for the lower A-arm (where the camber gets adjusted) When you apply pressure to the rear susupension in a hard corner the rear bushings will absorb this pressure and compress, the result is the rear wheels toeing OUT as the bushings compress.

Most folks that have done this mod remark: "It is a totally different car at the limit, much more stable.

I think most would agree, this is "THE" mod for track use if you are driving fast enough.

HTH,
