Upgrade to GT Sway Bars on the 2005 V6?
Hey guy's......I did not see any new threads about this subject, so I started one again.
I want to upgrade my 2005 V6 Coupe to the 2005-06 GT Front and Rear Sway Bars! (I already have the Eibach Pro-Kit installed)
Pro's Con's? Where is the best place to buy and what cost? e-bay?
What's the size difference? I know that I do not have a rear one, so it has to be an improvment.
Thoughts anyone?

Contact Paulboy... he was saying he can get front and rear GT Sways for $129, including shipping... best price I've seen. Though, you have to get the bolts for the rears seperately (I haven't seen sway bars sold with bolts for some reason). You reuse your front bolts.

Message KCStang on these boards, he's an authorized forum rep and FORD seller. Hell get you the hook up on the bolts.

The friend I purchased the rear sway bar from provided me with all the hardware needed to install the bar. And with FAZM's expert assistance both bars were installed and I was back at work in about an hour.

I would highly discourage anybody from using anything but factory bolts and nuts. They have have some unique clips and as someone on this board said "monkying around with the setup is not a good idea". I mean you wouldn't want your bolt to snap and sway bar go down and get stuck inside of a wheel, while you're cruising at say 70 MpH. Also, don't forget to torque the bolts correctly. Same reason here: you don't want them to get loose or to snap. So, pay a little more, but get quality stuff. I got my bolts, buts and brackets for about $60 shipped.
