4kQ sway bar didn't fit on my CGT! HELP!
I tried to put the 4Kq sway bar that I got from Force5 on my 87.5 CGT. It
doesn't fit right. When the center mounts are bolted on, the ends of the sway
bar extend past the stock CGT swaw bar end-links (holes in the sway bar don't
line up with the stock end links). What am I doing wrong? Or is there some
difference on the 87.5 CGT that makes a 4Kq sway bar not work?

The 4KQ endlinks have a much more pronounced bend in them....
So they may be what you need. I used all the stock hardware on mine when I did the front, but I'm pretty sure the 87.5 has a different set-up up front. 86+ had a different way of mounting the bar, if I recall correctly.

You hit the nail right on the head!!!!
I went through the same trials with my coupe!
The 4kq links are shorter and have a small "kink" or bend in them, the coupe links are much longer and are "S" shaped.

Hey, I have the hardware you need, it's yours for free of charge, just pay shipping.
E-mail me your address, I have all of the stuff needed for the sway bar upgrade. It's just lying around...all the brackets, bolts, and new bushings.
