You'll need the hardware for the rear sway bar. Hopefully they came with the bushings. You can get the hardware from your Ford dealer for an arm and a leg (seriously, like $70 for 6 bolts and nuts). Rear swat bar really stiffens up cornering.

Moss Mustang has the bushings. Ford has the bolts.
Make darn sure the brackets come with the rear GT take-off sway.
$44-$50 for 6 bolts and 6 nuts.
The part #s are here:

You want bushings for the 20mm GT rear sway bar.

thanks guys. damn....seems like the additional hardware parts will come out to cost more than the actual sway bars!

But well worth it.
Here is what should come with the rear sway PLUS
the end brackets that are not shown in the pic.
Coupes and Verts use different rear sways, so buyer beware.

No idea of the price.
Its a Ford item.
You can print the service manual page with
the brackets on it and take it in with you.

best I've come up with is $13.12 (each i'm sure) from here.

send me a PM and I can give you the rest of the info on how to find that. I've ordered from these guys several times, and their prices are fair, and shipping is for the most part quick.

i figure they will but i'm having trouble finding all the parts i need. i've found the brackets, i think, but no luck with the bolts. i'll keep looking but i will still ask the stealership how much they charge. 

* also, is the front gt sway a direct swap with the stock sixer sway? same mounting hardware will work? thanks.
