The sway bar hardware on my car is actually Associated part #9635. I drilled the holes in the top of the shock tower mounting post (see pic), and put the button head screws into them (after placing the sway bar). Don't tighten the screws too much or it will bind. Basically you want the suspension to be as free as possible when both arms move together. Basically the pic will explain everything. To make the sway bar softer move the ball stud things out from centre on the sway bar. The advantage to this setup over others is you can make it so stiff that when you move one side of the suspension full up the other side will move up about 3mm. Now I never run it this stiff, I usually make it just stiff enough to not move the other side. I use .055 piano wire for my sway bar, although thinner and thicker wire will yield different stiffnesses.
