Can you use a GT convertable rear sway bar on a coupe?
I bought a GT take of rear sway bar. I have a V6. After researching I found out the sway bar was from a GT convertable. Will this work even though I have a coupe?
Thanks
My car 09 V6.

It should work. I have a coupe Pony pkg and it has the rear sway already installed. Some say it is the same as the GT, other say it is slightly smaller diameter, but I have never heard that it is different in any other way.

The links are different lengths.
GT rear convertable rear sway bars work on non vert coupe S197s.
I dont think it worky the other way...
Supports on the vert that the coupe GT sway wont clear.
Only vert sway bars clear the vert supports.

As for the pony pkg rear bar versus the GT I do remember the GT bar being stiffer and a larger diameter.

PP rear 18MM
GT rear 20mm
V6 PP front 31.5mm

Get poly bushings for that sway for the win.

Thanks for the help guys.. After doing some research I knew it was from a convertable b/c it had the white links not black.. I guess white is for convert and black for coupe. I ordered the Steeda hardware kit and poly bushings from Summit this past Friday. Should be here this week and I will see if it makes a difference.

The parts # on the ID tag will confirm Coupe or Vert better than link colors.
But all 05-09 verts I have seen have white links
and all 05-09 coupes I have seen have black links.
Never seen any different and I have been under a few hundred in the last few years?
