      Don't do it, v8 front bar is 30mm I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) which is what you already have. The rear would be a 2mm upgrade but you can get a used one for cheaper than 40. Get 1le front, and either stock v8 or 1le rear and poly bushings, makes a world of difference

          Swaybars must match springs. With V6 springs, V8 swaybars are a bad choice for our cars. The rear bar is too big and transfers too much load to the rear tires, overloading them. You won't notice it until you're near the limits of traction, which is where you really need good handling.

          See:

          for a discussion about that.

            If you are on a budget then the V8 take off parts are your solution from slp. but I do agree with the idea of 1LE upgrade, I have them and love them (F/R Sway bars).
            I read once in an earlier post of someone just doing the V8 and he/she was very pleased with the results not only were they V8 parts but they were also like new. he did the shocks, spring, sway, etc... I guess they did good for him because this parts were design to throw more weight around than ours. what ever you do, good luck
