Default V6 sway bars. HELP!!!

So I've searched all kinds of threads to see if I could install a GT sway bar on my 2006 V6 (no pony package). I just really need to know what mods I would have to do to make it work. I need to know ASAP. Thank you to anyone that can help me out

You don't need any mods to put them in, just make sure they have the mounting hardware, bushings and rear endlinks.

The sway bars should of come with all the hardware you need to mount them.

I put a gt take-off rear sway bar on my '05. It dindt have any bolts, just the end mounting brackets. Picked up grade-8 bolts and they worked out great. You can also buy the bolts from Ford.

I would suggest spending the money for a higher quality bar if you can afford it. It really makes a difference, no matter what they guys who compare mm say. If you are in the Ohio area I have my stock PP bars which I'll sell for literally almost nothing, but really I recommend aftermarket bars. They will come with all hardware and instructions too.

GT take-offs work well if they can be had dirt cheap or free.
You need the mounting brackets for the rear sway and the front one
will require the OEM rubber bushings or even better POLYs.
I would go with the poly urethane bushings or not even do the install...

PP front sway, 31.5mm, same as the OEM V6 sway.
OEM V6 has no rear sway bar.
PP has an 18mm rear sway.
The rear sway on a GT is 20mm and the front is 34mm.
The brackets are the same, the rubber bushings are not.
Verts have different sways in the rear to clear vert bracing items.

GT sways and Polys all around and Polys on the panhard bar with
some 18" rims and 275/40-18 BFGoodrich tires and its like driving a go-cart.
A really fast one.
