Sway bar looks correct as it has the extra bends across the middle to clear the frame braces. I also just compared it to some pics of a Saleen rear bar I just sold and it looks the same.

Plus it has the white links. The coupe links are dark color.

Definitely a Mustang setup. I saw the factory tag on the bar, but was surprised to see the white links. They don't look like they have the special bushings, but looks sort of cool the way its set up. Good luck with the install.

Did you put new bushings in? I picked up one too, but I think I'm going to replace the bushings before I install it. I just hope that its not too hard of a process....

Mine is new too, along with the front GT sway I picked up, but i still wanted to upgrade the bushings to poly bushings from Energy Suspension. It's a cheap upgrade and will last much longer and give more support that the OEM rubber....at least that's what I've read. I picked up the front set for $25 and the rears for $35. I looks like it will be a PITA to get the old ones out and put the new ones in, so i was looking to see if you had done it. Good luck with your install!
