I have the chance to buy Eibach lowering springs, PST polygraphite rebuilt front suspension kit, Hotchkis rear suspension kit and KYB's all for around $550. All of these have 3,000mi. on them. Is using these bushings OK? What size swaybar do I have? (91 V8 RS). Thanks!!!

i wouldn't run used bushings if they were removed and you have to reinstall them. if you buy them pressed into the part, control arm or whatever i wouldn't worry about it, but too much chance for damage if you remove them and them they're reinstalled. as for the size of your sway bar jack the car up get under it and measure.

If you're lacking a set of calipers, you can use an open-ended adjustable wrench. Tighten it down on the center of the bars, remove it, and hold it against a metric ruler. It won't be exact but it'll be close enough!
