i got the rears off with ease, but the fronts have a slight dent from where the sway bar was pushed into them on the bottom. think its still worth getting off?

fronts are:
8241 1139Sport

rears are:
8241 1140Sport

They'll work on your WS6, the numbers are the same as the ones for the V8 cars (and those are the on car adjustable rears as well).

As far as replacing the bushings or the dent in the front, I don't know. How much are you getting them for if you don't mind me asking?

****, for $3.50 grab them all, lol! Even if something doesn't work right (whether it's damaged or worn out), might as well get them!

And there is nothing wrong with the bushings. They always get painted at the factory and have that cracked look as soon as they are installed, but there is nothing wrong with the rubber.
