Default 951 Sway Bars on 924S conversion

I have just received from my dad a set of 944 turbo sway bars. My car currently does not have a rear sway bar. What is all needed to put these on my car? I have heard that for the front sway bar it needs new hangers for the front inner and bushings. For the rear I need some adapter kit, but what is needed for the rear?

you need the drop down brackets from the 944 i think. at any rate, theres 3 holes on a bracket type plate on your transaxle . Im looking to do this too, especially after (just for shtz and ggls) i was swerving back and forth tightly on the interstate to get a feel for the car, and noticed ho the fron is fairly well planted, and the rear feels like the riding a bike with a flat tire (best example i could muster)

For the rear I just bought the long eccentric bolts and the nuts and washers to attached the ends of the sway bars to. I think all I need after that is some dog bones. For the front I think I still need the front inner brackets and bushings. I'm not sure if I need anything else. I see that the front sway bar ends stock attach at the bottom of the control arm with a bracket and bushing. Could I maybe get some of these parts used?

Front sways have two bushings in the middle and two on the outside attached at the control arms with a droplink.

Rears have the outer bolts that attach to a dogbone/spherical droplink and two inner mounts on the torsion bar housing. If your car had no bar to begin with you'll need the inner mounts on the rear and the outer dogbones with their eccentric bolt.

I just ordered that eccentric bolt and the mounts are already the car. I need the dog bones for the rear and I'm done. The front I still need the middle bushing's and the brackets for the bar.
