I'll Third it. I've installed the GT struts and springs on the front, the rear stabilizer bar and what a difference it made in cornering. I have the GT front stabilizer yet to put on as well as the GT rear springs and shocks left to do. Everybody is correct on the convertible rear stabilizer bar having to clear the two frame braces. I put mine on without taking the wheels off, but merely jacked up one side of the car and fished it thru the wheel well. Used factory bolts and nuts to attach it to the car.

I'll fourth it. Adding the GT sways to my 'vert was huge bang-for-the-buck in handling. The car now tracks like it is on rails. I notice it especially when taking curves at speed, such as a cloverleaf exit off the highway. You might want to consider doing the poly bushings at the same time. (I got mine at Moss.) They are a real b****h to get on, but do seem to stiffen up the sways even more.

There is a difference.
Black hangers, coupe.
White hangers, vert.
