For new Sway bars New endlinks required?
Well the title says it all: I have a g37 2013 journey, sport tires
Im convinced Eibach antiroll/sway kit front and back would be nice; One installer suggested I should get new 'endlinks' if new sway bars.
This adds expense I want prepared for, endless new research , and more worry of added noise, squeeks, and squeels over bumps turns etc.
Opinions? do I need, how dangerous if I dont? Is this a minor or MAJOR issue? Thanks!

Cheap and good don't go together with car parts. You want cheap parts or good parts? Pick one. Aftermarket end links are a lot more expensive than OEM ones. A lot.

OEM front endlinks are like $50. If that is stretching your budget, I don't know what to tell you. You need to save up more money I guess.
Sway bars aren't noisy at all The only noise you'll get is when the grease dries out of the bushings about every 1 to 2 years. Lubricate them and they're all good again. Sways will keep the wheels more planted to the road during cornering, reducing body roll. A side effect is that any irregularity like a bump or dip that affects one side will now affect both sides more than before.

Hotchkis sways have grease zerks so that you can lube them without removing anything. Others require that you remove the bushing brackets and bushings and grease the inside and replace them.

The end links dont need lube, its the swaybar bushings that bolt to the car with a U shaped bracket that can squeak. I've relubed the rears once and I was able to squeeze under the car without jacking it up. If you're a big guy, you would probably need to jack up the rear.

Conditions driven in greatly determine if/when you need to relube the bushings. Mine have been on for nearly 4 years and ~18K miles. Haven't touched them yet, no noises either. Car is rarely driven in the elements.
In some cars like my old Subaru the benefit is that the stock end links are hard plastic and the solid end link enables the full benefit of the sway bar. I believe the G stock end link is already solid so the only advantage is some adjustability, which I have not yet heard is really necessary.
