i installed a beefy new addco 1.5" rear sway bar yesterday:

this is the inner mount:

and the outer:

the outer had to be modified; i had to drill out an existing hole to 3/8" in the spring perch (rear facing) and drill a 1/4" hole through both the spring perch and the forward-facing tab of the mount ( the bar is designed for a different year before the rear suspension changed on my beretta - no one makes anything for my specific model ). i hope that 1/4" bolt holds! i got the highest strength bolt i could.. some others who've done this mod made a plate to hold the outer mount, or used a hanger like the inner mounts use.
handling is greatly improved; feels like this alone did as much as the strut tower and shock tower braces combined. feels like it's on rails!
btw - my car has an internal sway bar, which i left in. 2 sway bars own you !! =D
is that too much?
doesn't really apply to your GA's, but thanks for looking..
