Default Q's about goin to a 1LE front sway bar

I'm picking up a used 1LE 32mm front sway bar from an 02 camaro and want to know what's needed as far as hardware to make it work. The seller don't have the hardware for it. So if any one knows what I need and where I could get it that would be great.

What would be "needed" would be different d-bushings with holes to support a 32 mm bar. Though I would get a whole poly bushing kit with endlinks, d-bushings and u-brackets. Your stock endlinks may be rusted beyond reuse (like all 4 of mine were)

Is your car a WS6? I can't tell. If so, you already have that bar on it. If not, and it's cheap then it's a decent low-buck upgrade. But that depends on what the bar + hardware will cost you.

Sorry Sam, I should half been more descriptive. It is a 01 Trans AM, No WS6 PKG. I am getting the bar for 40 bucks and im picking it up locally. So it is worth it to me. If you have the hardware and all the bushings in poly I would like to pick those up from you. If you got it shoot me a quote shipped to 60081. Thanks in advance!

A front poly bushing set is just about $40, shipping would be around $10. Figure no more than $50 shipped.
