Replacing std. front sway bar with WS6 bar. Diff bushings but same brackets?
Hi guys, I have a V6 car I converted to V8 and put WS6 springs all the way around. I now am installing the WS6 sway bars. I have only a front V6 sway bar on the car now. I have the rubber bushings for the front WS6 bar. Will the WS6 bushings for the big front bar fit inside the V6 sway bar bushing clamps? I assume so but just wanted to check.
Also, how is a rear sway bar bracket mounted, and where does it mount? The car came from the factory with no rear bare. Do I have to drill/tap holes for adding the rear bar, or are holes already there? A photo would be awesome if someone can show me where the rear sway bar brackets mount.

The front and rear swau bar bushing brackets are all the same regardless of the size of the stock style bushing. Yes the holes for the rear end link mounting brackets are already there and are threaded. I have the brackets in question listed on my web site if you aren't yet aware of what they look like.

Thanks! I didn't even realize I needed the end link brackets. I'll order them from you. Where do the sway bar brackets themselves attach to the body, and are those holes already there too?

The rear sway bars are attached at two points, the sway bar bushings and the end links. The end links mount to the end link brackets which are bolted to the body.
