Default Rear Sway Bar help

I have a 05 with no rear factory sway bar installed. I want to add one. The rear end is Stock with one upgrade, I have just added a set of Roush rear Springs. This is a DD so I do not need a race car setup sway bar. I just want to add better rear end stability to my car. I am thinking/picked the Summit racing rear sway bar kit.

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

I would like to know,

1.) Do you feel this is a good/Ok sway bar kit.
2.) Do I need any other parts other then the kit to install it on the car.
3.) have I over looked any thing I need/will need to do before/after install.

Note the price of this kit is why I picked it for what you get >4140 chromemoly spring steel/gray wrinkle powdercoated finish

Thank You for your help and input

1) i thinbk that is a good choice for your budget/needs. another option that might be a little cheaper is the hellwig sway bar (very similar to the summit

2)the kit has everything you need for install

3)just make sure you grease the bushings/bolts to avoid squeaking

I have a rear GT take off sway bar w/ all mounting hardware I'd be willing to sell you for half that price. It's just sitting in my garage.

Maybe poly bushings if they are not already included.
Also with that stiff of a rear sway, you need to upgrade
the 31.5mm V6 front sway with something bigger like
the 34mm GT front sway bar take-off. Otherwise
the rear will be too stiff compared to the front and
you will not like it at all.

+1 on the poly bushings. picked mine up from mossmustang on saturday and spent sunday and monday enjoying the much improved handling. can't go wrong with GT sways. especially with the upgraded bushings.
