89 Vert Front sway bar swapped into my 88 SE what do I need to do?
Is there anything special I need to do to put a beefier 89 vert front sway bar on my 88 SE?
Besides the mounting brackets and replacing the bushings with poly units.
The reason I ask is because I have a broken wrist and would like this swap to go as smoothly as possible.
Thanks guys!

^Yes sir!
Vert AND T2 front sway bars are a comperable to the RB sway bars from what I hear. So far just by the old hand test, the Vert bar is Def. thicker.

anywho, yes, direct swap.
my #1 question is, why bigger sways? i have a fully built suspension, and without having thousands of hours of track racing, i personally dont feel a difference. i have felt 28mm vs 20 mm bars, at high speed cornering, and they felt the same.
but thats just me
peace

Well theres is 100% without a doubt a difference in thickness between the vert and my coupes sway bars.
Too bad my 88 sway bar end links will not fit the 89 vert bar right? Unless I do a 5- lug conversion.
I was only looking to upgrade the sway bar because I am lowering my sway bar for a v8 swap and figured that for $6 I might as well upgrade the sway bar right?

lol Oh ok good. I was worried that I misread where I heard there WAS a beefier bar in the vert.
I went and tried the swap yesterday, same endlinks from s4 coupe to s5 vert, would have been a direct sway if I hadnt snapped the head off the the mounts bolt lol.
For Future searchers, Vert sway bar IS thicker than coupe. S5 Vert end links WILL mount to the S4 coupes end links.
