Default Installation of front sway bar

From my searching I found very little info on this. Is it true that you have to remove the lower control arms and front member brace? Can you sneak it out without affecting alignment?

I purchased the F Sport blue sway bar kit and was able to get the install information from the dealer.

I followed those same exact instructions.... easy install. its straightforward, no tricks, all simple basic hand tools

you may, need an alignment afterwards. I was lucky, and did not require an alignment

(I have my own means of doing alignments at home, and was still within oem spec)

I have not ordered yet, wanted to know how hard the front sway bar is to install. Sounds annoying but reasonably easy. I just hate dealing with LCAs.

Yeah I would not install one bar and not the other.
