I put on 2 of them a couple months ago. One for my 2005 v6 coupe and one for my father's 2007 v6 convertible.
Bought them at v6mustangstuff.com. Came with everything except the bolts and washers.
For the coupe, just crawl under the back and bolt it on. The only hard part is starting the nuts on the lower brackets (it would be real easy if you pulled the bottom of the shock but I was too lazy).
On the convertible I had to remove one wheel to work the bar up in where it belongs (there's a chassis stiffening subframe on the vert). Other than that it's the same as the coupe.
Took about 45min for each vehicle but that's because I used nyloc nuts on everything and the bolts were fine thread which means a lot of wrench turning.

It helps to have a picture of what the sway bar will look like installed to use as a reference. I just couldn't figure out how it was supposed to bolt up until I saw a picture of how it was supposed to look.
You don't need special nylon 'locking bolts' or anything like that. Use flat washers, lock washers and some blue thread locker and you should be fine. Make sure to get them nice and tight to avoid rattling while turning or going over bumps.
Pay attention to eBay, when I bought mine I got both the GT front and rear bars with all the parts (but without the hardware [nuts, bolts, etc]) and everything together was like $34. Including the cost of the nuts, bolts, thread locker, washers and the sway bars I think it was around $50-55 total.

What size hardware did you use? I have everything I need for the rear sway bar install except the nuts and bolts and I don't know what size to use.
