VAG anti roll bar install on GH8
After doing some research, I read a few posts from around here about the 2015+ anti roll bars being a direct bolt on for the GH8 (08+ WRX). I had an opportunity to buy a set of OEM antiroll bars with bushings from a 2015 STI for next to nothing so I jumped on it without doing further due diligence. Now they're being shipped to me so I wanted to confirm some other things.
In all the reading I saw on this mod (which doesn't seem very common), people said they were a direct bolt on. My questions though, are as follows. 1. Should I replace end links or other hardware while I'm in there (currently at 94k km)? 2. Are there any additional parts I should pick up (like brackets)? 3. Will I need to modify any of the existing hardware on my car? 4. For install, is it better to do it on ramps or jack stands? 5. I feel like this shouldn't effect alignment, but should I get an alignment after? Further information about my car. It's a 2007 S-GT (JDM 08+ WRX w/ an EJ20). Slightly lowered on Blitz ZZ-R coilovers. Otherwise, totally stock.

I think you should replace endlinks at this mileage but not necessary. I prefer installation on ramps so it's easier to bolt up the endlinks. However, it's easier to remove and put in the swaybars while on jackstands. Not necessary to get an alignment for just swaybars/endlinks but if you haven't done an alignment in a long time, it isn't a bad idea anyway. If you're going something that will adjust the alignment anytime soon, maybe wait until then.
