Ah I guess I meant the mounts for the sway bar. I've got new poly links and bolts (I think the old ones I had were original, those bolts were very, very think lmao)

Are you referring to the strut tower brace, or anti-sway bar?

Sway bar, I keep hearing we can use ones from STSs but not sure what year and if it'll fit in our factory bushings or not, etc

And I usually have too much shit in my trunk to fit a strut brace back there lol

It's on the forum somewhere, but I'd assume not.

Why not upgrade to the Addco bars?

The Addco bars are thicker and I think solid instead of hollow.  If you get the Addco front bar you'll also need to upgrade the front brackets to the UMI 0047 - Link.  The force the Addco bar makes will bend the stock brackets and tear them out.

BTW here's a link to AA's Riviera Performance end link thread - Link

Hell yeah they looks helpful, especially with the Lucerne/Seville compatibility. Also would you have a link to where a guy can get an Addco bar? Or I suppose I could check ol' eBay

You may have a problem getting them due to supply chain problems.
