Default Suspension questions regarding Kmac (Full or half) and Forge adj. tie bars

Do I need both?

I am going to do some suspension possibly and I want to know if I need both of these:

<img src="http://www.ttstuff.com/images/forge/FMAUTB_540.jpg">
Forge Adjustable Tie Rod Bars for the rear on TT-stuff.com

<img src="http://www.ttstuff.com/images/kmac/KMAC-FL_540.jpg">
Full K-mac kit also on TT-stuff.com

My question is do I need both or do I only need one or the other?

FYI, I have H &amp; R sports and Bilstein shocks and the TT needs an alignment bad and @ the same time I do this I want to do the Ground Control in the front too.

Any help would be appreciated - so I understand what I am doing before I do anything!

Default I used half a kit on the rear. GRD did it for me.

Also looking into the ground control kit.

Default Hey Adam I noticed you finally got your body kit on...How do you like it? How are the fitments?

Was there any problems fitting it?

Default Adam, You don't need both. I have the full K-mac as I had toe-in problems...>>

They are cheaper than the forge but take a while to install. You have to press the old bushings out. Where as the forge is just a replacement.

Hope this helps.

I LOVE IT - Only minor fitment issues from what I heard from the body shop
