is make one bracket... If you want, I'll go run out to the garage real quick and see how the 4.0 bushing with bracket fits over my
Hellwig.. (which is definately GT spec)

RE: Front Swaybar Install
lol.. you made me verrrry curious. Soooo, I had to go check!
Had to cut the factory bushing off sway with a boxcutter. (Easy
)
(Hellwig already cuts them for you so they slide right on)
Slid under Pony and the bushing "does" go over the new sway... (Pic 1)
But, the bracket "somewhat" fits over the bushing.. (Pic 2)
I don't know.. unless I knew the diameter of the GT bushing, I would measure and see if its the same
for the 4.0 bracket.

turns out the brackets are the same for the GT as they are for hte V6... they just use different bushings with different size ID, but have the same OD
