The GMPP bars? (can't go to link) Tons of people have.. great upgrade.
12-02-2013
Yeah I think they are the gmp bars. It comes with a front and a rear sway bar. And a front strut bar for 135 bucks
12-02-2013
Resonable price. Your options would be a cop car impala or 2000+ Monte from a JY. Has the same parts.
12-02-2013
No montes. And only one impalla and it was red. So 0 of those. I'll keep looking though. I go about once every 2 weeks. I just might man up and pay it since my front sway bar broke at it handles like **** now
12-02-2013
get the dorman bar.
12-02-2013
Yea I have the gmpp front sway bar. Very nice upgrade.
12-03-2013
Not to jack the thread, but I got a 2001 cop car impala front bar from the jy for 9.99 but the brackets were shot can I use brackets from a regular impala? If not will a 2000 plus Monte work? or what all can I grab from the yard? Dealer claims they are discontinued (I think its bull) so does advanced and o'rielys
)

I believe they all use the same brackets so trying using the ones that are currently on the car.

Go ahead and get polyurethane bushings and end links while you're at it, Energy Suspension makes great bushings and front end links, Moog for the rear links. They help you take advantage of the extra stiffness those bars offer.
Don Rome makes brackets too if you don't want to drill your strut towers for the bars.
The Dorman front sway bar doesn't add much handling advantage, but it's solid where as the GMPP front bar is hollow. I went with Dorman due to where I live. Lots of salt on the roads can eat those hollow bars, so I went solid just to be safe.

Thank but I doubt they will work because bar is noticeably thicker and the bushings would not fit (I had a set laying around)Originally Posted by REDCOMPG

Already got new end links stbs etc this is the last piece but thanks
12-12-2013
So any answer to the orginal question?
12-12-2013
if you order new bushings from energy suspension they throw in new brackets. rear brackets are a bit different than standard bushing brackets iirc.
12-13-2013
Already have new Moog bushings but thanks
12-13-2013
i reused the brackets on the front with no issues, its a very tight fit but will work. make sure to grease the bushings to prevent squeaking.
12-13-2013
been wondering if I could do that
12-13-2013
I would recommend an Addco bar.

Stock brackets work fine with the GMPP bars. The bushing itself is not much bigger than stock. Just has a bigger diameter hole in it.
