Default Front sway bar

Is it worth it to buy a used front sway bar from an 02 ss to put on my 96 T/A? I can get it on the cheap, but will it make that much of a difference. The car is not used for drag, just street.

It will... If it's cheap, I'd recommend it.

if you're going to swap them use poly endlinks to get the most out of the bar. when i did that upgrade i used rubber ones the first time and barely felt anything.

stock links are delrin actually... But the links themselves (the bolts) are tiny and when they get old tend to break pretty easily.

I only got one of my stock ones off in one piece. I've seen them snap on a few cars just from daily driving so it's a good time to replace them with something better.
