I did not, only because when I pulled the rack, they look like they had already been replaced once, they were really clean and in great condition.

If it's not your alignment, make sure that everything is tight up front. Sometimes after swapping a lot of stuff and putting a few miles on it, the hardware will work it's way loose. I just had that happen to me with my S14, replaced everything but the rack and coils up front and still had a 'mystery' clunk/wobble when driving. Found out that one of my ball joints must not have seated right in the knuckle and come loose (pin was still there). Checked all of the other nuts and bolts, and some of those were more loose than installed too.

I took a look under the car and tightened everything up about a week after I installed and it was all good, but what I think it might be, or part of it, is that I'm running Godspeed
FLCAs and the ball joint on them don't sit great with lowering I guess. So I guess I'm going to have to take a look into that as well.
