if you look at the first post, i installed the m-shape rear lateral brace.
during the process i had to remove a nut and put it back. this nut is connected to some worth of camber,caster,toe (or whatever arm). will i have to get my car realigned?
Red is the nut. Yellow is the arm.
I don't THINK you have to get re-alligned, but I'm no expert...
turns out... the nut that's required to be loosened (to pin the m-brace and rear ties to the car) is the same nut that holds the camcentric(not sure if i spelled it right) bolt that adjusts your toe//caster//camber (not sure which-to-which but it DEFINITELY does mess with your alignment).
since those nuts are torqued down pretty heavily, it might be possible that the alignment bolt couldve turned during the installation process. i know mine did! darrin @ west end verified this for me and fixed my baby all up!
How is it w/ the m-brace now? I'm thinking of stiffening up my suspension somehow, either by trading up to coils, or just getting reinforcements, like sways or a strut brace or something.

sways is definitely the best upgrade/$ imho
reinforcements are great but are better utilized when you have coils or some stiffer suspension. btw, if you have non-sport (w/out lsd) then i would get the rear tie and mbrace first; theyre both relatively cheap and would be more beneficial on the non-sports.
