If you buy it from RedShift Motorsports you don't need to buy anything extra.

Yup, redshift has a good price on it, and they list everything that comes with it so no guessing. Plus Chris is totally helpful on here so that's worth my business for sure.

Will I need to have frt/rear alignment adjusted with install of rear bar ?

Nope! A rear bar does not change the geometry of the suspension at all. It is simply a bar the reduces body roll.

Ok .... at this point I'm going with you peeps........ What made me wonder about Alignment was that it effected under steer........ So my reasoning was it most keep the rear higher........... Comes from my mc , where we raise the rear/and or lower the front to make it turn in faster ............ which you mc owners might want to think about if you want your mc to turn in better.......
So anyway that's where I was coming from..... But thinking about the body roll/lean not leaning might keep from loading the outside of the car will help it under steer , most have more to do with something other than changing the angle of the front steering .......... which I still don't understand how, but am taking the word of you peeps that know from experience....... Thx

Alignment can affect how the vehicle corners, that much is correct. Chris @ Redshift has some alignment suggestions for different applications, there are recommendations for street mild performance, street aggressive, and race / autocross.
Scroll down to the bottom of this page and you will see the recommendations. You could possibly use more camber in the front than he suggests for street, but that will tend to shorten tire life.

You should have a better idea after reading that as to whether or not it's worth it to get the alignment checked at the least, or make adjustments for better performance.

You will have everything, Progress has started including the adapter brackets for the LX, DX, etc models on all their newer bars produced. Take a look at the hardware kit with the bushings, you should see a few bolts and a flat bar type bracket as well.
