Jump. But dont fall down.
On a V6. I dont think so.
My GT swaybar upgrade was just the right amount
over the base V6es non-rear sway and tiny front sway...
But its kinda overkill with the GT500 sways and you will get
opposite side tire lift in heavy cornering situations. Not good.
The engine in a V6 is just not as heavy as the Gt500s V8.
It gonna upset the apple cart.
Its not a 'bigger is better' thing here.
Its all in the balance.
Otherwise everyone would be throwing
the biggest on there and be going the fastest.

157db's point is solid and he knows suspension.
I bought my GT sway bars from NTO on ebay for $99. Here's the link to sway bars for a convertible (don't buy if you drive a coupe) : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...Q5fAccessories
Keep an eye out if you need them for a coupe, they're new-takeoff and are probably a better deal than your craigslist guy

Man you scored with those mufflers, those make all kinds of great sounds come out of the 4.0.
Best place to go for mounting hardware, unfortunately, would be the dealership to be sure you get the correct grades and measurements. The parts store would provide everything you need.
