I put IROC swaybars on my 86. I used ES poly bushings and endlinks though. I don't see why you would need to fabricate anything, unless you didn't have a swaybar to begin with, and there is no bracket for the end link.

No changes at all, they're all the same with the exception of the 1LE bushings which are harder rubber. I also used the ES poly replacements.

Direct bolt-in. You don't mention the sway bars' measurements, but if they are the 1LE/WS6 type (hollow 36 mm front and solid 24 mm rear), you might consider either Spohn's or Top-Down Solutions' greaseables. The alternative is GM's higher durometer bushing and poly endlinks (which I prefer since they seem to seat better in the a-arm).

FOR THE LAST TIME, SPOHN DOESN'T MAKE POLY BUSHINGS!!!!!#@$!(%*^&#! They sell Prothane bushings, you can get them anywhere.

CaysE,

I believe Spohn does make/modify the greaseables as does Top-Down Solutions. If not, the point is moot. He does after all provide a valuable part for our cars. No where above, by the way, does anyone claim that Spohn makes poly bushings.
