Default Front sway bar bushing gone

Just bought an 88 Mustang and the front bushing on one side of the sway bar is gone. Is now a good time to upgrade or swap out all of the front bushings? If so do I go aftermarket or OEM or what? How complicated is this? Any help would be appreciated.

Good to hear. Should I go ebay or is there a particular manufacturer that is best to go with? That's funny that you say go with a larger bar...I am a honda owner so when I saw that bar I couldn't believe how huge it was! I'm sure there is lots of cool aftermarket stuff available though.
