Default Adding a rear sway bar

so i decided i want to add a rear sway but cant find any in the local junkyards. anyone have one they want to sell? along with all the mounting brackets? and this will just be bolting on this after i thread the holes since the sohc models had them just not threaded i think. is there anything else i should know before attempting this?

Just buy a cheap adjustable one from eBay.

Not sure what you mean about threading the holes? They fit over the struts mounting nuts.

DOH! My bad...I haven't slept much the last few days.

The rear strut bar does help a little and does look nice when you pop the trunk.

Even a stock rear sway bar is a nice upgrade. You can feel the difference immediately. Best place to find a sway bar would be on different forums.
