wat do i need to install this in the rear??? do i need to buy some stuff to hold the bar??

also is it worth taking the v6 front off and slapping it with GT takeoffs? thanks

rear sway bar hardware

upper link bolt (2) w708737-s439
upper link nuts (2) W520214-S440
bracket nuts (4) w520213-s440
bracket bolts snap in style (4) W711368-S439

You don't need the front but upgrading does make a difference

i went the cheap route, i got the bolts from work, bought the nuts:
2- 12mm x 65mm bolts and nylok nuts for the top
4- 10mm x 30mm bolts and nylok nuts + some 3/4" or 1" flatwashers for the bottoms ( i cant remember which size washers i used, just some i had on hand but you will need them to cover the odd hole in the shock brackets. i did this to both our cars, havent had any problems or anything coming loose.

I used the Steeda hardware kit, good quality but I did double up the washers with larger ones:

Don't forget to torque and retorque under load, 85 lb/ft for the shock bolts and end link bolts, 52 lb/ft for the stab. bar bushing bolts

Not sure why, fits perfectly on mine. Not sure how much thicker a GT sway is compared to V6 but it fit perfectly into the brackets, did not bend them.

[burnrubber4.0]

it fits no problem at al

From what I've been able to research (and experience on my '07 GT convertible) stock sway bar sizes seem to be:

GT Coupe = 34mm front / 20mm rear
GT Convertible = 34mm front / 18mm rear
V6 with Pony Package (coupe and convertible) = 28.6mm front / 18mm rear

well i just went to ford and asked them how much to get all those hardware.. including brackets, links, nuts etc. and they want $260 dollars!!!! Y?!?!?!?

if i buy the steeda hardware kit is it all i need?

Just go the metric bolt route man! I think it all cost me 12 bucks, and it is basically the exact same thing Ford gives you.

I got the 10mm bolts at Advance Auto (10.9 Grade) and the 12mm bolts at Pep Boys (8.8 Grade) and all the lock nuts at Pep Boys.

People say they want the OEM parts, but if you get under your car and look, they are the exact same metric bolts you buy at a hardware store. It even says right on the bolts head "10.9".

Unless you are just hell-bent on spending lots of money, it's the only way to go that makes any sense!
