Greasable Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit for 1982 F-Body

TDS sells these items:

Greasable Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit for 1982 F-Body
Greasable Rear Sway Bar Bushing Kit for 1982 F-Body

I'm going to take my car to a shop to have the bottom POR-15'd and a SFCs installed. So I figure I'd order a Wonderbar while I'm at it. Should I purchase these items as well? Lon claims a 13% increase with this kit. Or, should I just forget about it?

Also, what size of each do I need to order? (I have a 1991 GTA)

Thanks!
Bill

dont be so quick to buy the 82 only parts. pull the old bracket off and see in the bracket holes are infact in-line or if they are offset. I made the mistake of not checking first.

13% increase in what?

Whoops... here it is:

"Polyurethane bushings transmit s little more vobration and noise from the road surface. They also increase the cornering ability of the existing sway bar by roughly 15%."
