Stillen sway bars

I found a great deal on used Stillen sway bar and I'm thinking buying them. I did a lot of reading about them and I have couple questions. I have 03 sedan with sport suspension and the car have 83k miles. If i install the sway bars is it a sure think that it will ruin my end links? Any other parts that it will ruin for sure? I read that couple people Stillen sway bar broke is it a common problem? Is it worth the money to do this upgrade? Will the ride become too hard? Thx

I've been running mine on stock end links for 2-3 years now (G is my DD). You'll be fine. Jump on 'em.

What's a 'good deal'?

How's the ride quality compare to the stock? Do you need to do alignment after the install? Does it affect the tire life?

Since my car got 83k miles i think it will be a good idea to change the sway bar busing. Autozone selling them for $20, are they good? Should I change anything else while im doing it?

I installed the sway bar yesterday and the handling is amazing!!

I have it setup on Med front and rear and the car ride quality change, it’s bumpier and a little to harsh for my taste. Is it because I have the sport suspension?

What’s your setup and is it bumpier? Can I change the front setting without taking the engine under cover?
