End links wouldn't be a bad thing to upgrade while you are swapping out the sway bars but it definitely isn't something you have to do unless you plan on really racing the car a bunch. Depending on what strut tower brace you go with you will determine if there is anything else worth messing with while you are there, with our BMR strut tower braces you have to drop the front struts so if you were planning on doing lowering springs it would be an ideal time to do them.

When we sell swaybars, we sell them with end links.
If you upgrade to the newer style swaybars that come on the 2012 and new V8 cars you will need to get new rear lower control arms too. We have conversion kits that include everything for you there.

The Strut tower bar is more of an appearance mod, and nothing else is related to it as far as parts.

End links are a very good idea when upgrading sway bars, especially if you plan on autoX or track use. Nothing else is needed to install a strut brace. The strut tower brace definitely has it's place in a full suspension package but there are other suspension/chassis upgrades that will produce greater results.
