Man you scored with those mufflers, those make all kinds of great sounds come out of the 4.0.
Best place to go for mounting hardware, unfortunately, would be the dealership to be sure you get the correct grades and measurements. The parts store would provide everything you need.

Doesn't the the GT500 come with standard GT muffler? He did get a deal for everything for $50 but the muffler aren't anything special. Now if they are the KR mufflers then yea he won the lottery.

Its still overkill no matter how cheap they are.
Stealership for the correct one time use fastners...
Its the best $39.92 I have ever spent at the stealership...
Are we talking rear sway bar end brackets??
The hardware should be there if the guy didnt
throw it away...
You are going to have some mean inner tire lift during
competitive driving.
Talk about upsetting the apple cart...
ps I dont know suspension 100%,
NORM is the suspension KING round here...

Just to be clear here... the only way your going to "tire lift" is if your running no (or very soft) rear sway bar.
I very highly doubt you could get enough side bite with your average DOT street tire to cause your inside front tire to jump up off the pavement
But, I'm no guru either...

I get lift under high G turns with GT 20MM rear and GT 34mm front.
But thats with 275/40-18 BFG G force KDWIIs.
The GT500 sways will just increase this as the V6
engine dont weigh as much as the GT500 engine.
The rear weight is the same V6 to GT500....
Then there are the V6 springs he has.
Its just overkill anyway you look at it.
He wont be happy, just $60 lighter in the wallet dept.

Nothing like having empirical data (just the facts ma'am) to make decisions. I would also like to know about the driving scenario where the stock set up ran out of steam. While that is a pretty good price for GT500 NTO bars (where even just reselling them might make it worthwhile), how does the car fail before wrenching on it?
