Changing Front Swaybar: Alignment Req'd After?

I just picked up the necessary parts to put a Civic Ex front swaybar on my Cx. Will I need to align the front end after changing out the front arms etc.?

yes, because you'll have to replace the front lower control arms. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

Yep, I'll have to replace the front LCA's. Stock Cx ones don't have holes for the end links.

Thanks for the input.

lol yes and no... I just wanted to double check really. The car was aligned for this season of Solo2 fun and came upon these bits for a steal this weekend. I don't really want to pay for another alignment (albeit front end only) a week after I had it done.
