Yes, the GT rear sways are a veryBIG upgrade over stock v6ers, one of the biggest imporments Ive made personaly. I went and pulled one off a 87 GT fox and it worked so much better that my stock one. I didnt change the bushings at all, I used the 'U' brackets that came off the GT and the bolts from the GT with no problems at all. Good luck!
