sway bar installation

I just picked up a set of eibach sway bars but they only came with the bushings. Can i use my stock hardware to mount these or do i need to order the hardware kit from eibach?

No direct experience with Eibachs, but it's that way with the Stillens, you use the stock hw.

I didnt have to. Dropped the car after I had the sways installed. Did the sways myself. The exhaust will have to be dropped to put the rear bar on.

I had an 03 6MT. Showing the sway bars are the same part numbers for 05's though. No notes on the bars for 05 saying new end links will be needed.
