I will get a full alignment when my TIEN coilovers get on there!

Yeah, I suppose you could screw up the alignment, but I would think its more likely messing with the front bar. I can tell you mine is still perfect after swapping out the front. I swapped it out while I had the car up on ramps changing the oil. I just made sure I positioned the Hotchkis bar evenly when I installed it before I fully tighten all the hardware.

I have just the Hotchkis bars as a suspension mod, and I agree with all of the above.

How much RWHP did this net you?

Well, after emailing Hotchkis for some stickers (which they sent) I have them listed on the Engine cover (along with Dynatech, Magnaflow, Superchips and K&N stickers)...

I'd say the sticker alone is worth 5HP.

I put the Hotchkis' on when I did my exhaust. The rear bar is not so easy and you really should find a lift if you can. Both wheels need to be taken off and in my case, we had to drop the suspension. Definitely doable without a lift, but it's going to take you alittle longer. As stated, it will make a world of difference. If you ever want to take your car on an auto track, this is a MUST.
