You need the pair of sway bar bushings(what size sway bar are you getting?) and the endlinks avail from Prothane, ES, PST, etc.

Yep, WS6's are 36mm/24mm. Only Guildstrand makes a poly 36mm sway bar bushing. All the other companies make 24mm bushings.

they are seperate. The endlink kit and the 36mm sway bar bushings. Both are well worth it.

Check out Guldstrand, but get a catalog, there's more in that then the website. Or call and ask for Bob. He can answer your questions. If he can't, Dick Guldstrand can still can be found in the shop.

Just a FYI, I have Steering Braces (aka Wonder Bars) of my own design in stock. They are MIG welded, bead blasted and powder-coated in a finish called "raw steel". It is silver with black specks, resembling cast steel. I will also be offering poly-graphite front bushings in greasable version very soon. They will have a zerk fitting with a dust cover installed so you can easily grease them as a regular maintenance item. Existing greasable brackets from Energy Suspension are a "Universal Fit" and won't work on our cars. Their bracket has a straight bolt pattern, yet our cars use an offset pattern from 83-92. I use stock GM brackets that are bead blasted and zinc plated for corrosion protection. The bushings are modified to have channels inside for the grease to flow from the zerk fitting. Lon

LOn how much do you want for this wonderbar you are making?

If it's reasonably priced I will pick one up in a few weeks/month.
