The sway bars from the WS6 will definitely fit on your V6 car without any issues. I would make sure to check that the bushings and end links are in good condition, if not than I would look into getting either Prothane or Energy Suspension sway bar bushings and end links.

Strut tower brace and K member are the only things I can think of that don't fit v6 to v8 as far as chassis/suspension goes. Not like the STB is all that useful anyway from what I gather.

Do you sell the bushings and end links? I will probably just do this anyways so I can do it once...the car they are comming off will have over 100k miles...
