Default 96 Lumi Can I upgrade to Monte sway bars?

On my 96 Lumina base sedan with 3100 SFI, can I upgrade the front and rear sway bars to a Monte Carlo sway bars if I use the Monte bushings? Bolt in? Would sway bars from a Lumina with the 3.4 L engine have stronger sway bars?

It seems this would be a good suspension upgrade from the old salvage yard for my Lumina with the 'base' suspension. Anybody know about this?

RockAuto lists various sway bar bushings in the following sizes: 1 1/8", 1 1/4", and 1 7/16". So there are some nice choices for a performance sway bar over the stock sway bar on my base Lumina. Will these bolt on, sith the correct bushings?

Is it correct that in general, parts from a Lumina 95-2001 and Monte Carlo 95-99 will interchange? For example a 99 MC front sway bar will bolt on to a 96 Lumina with the MC bushings? Is that correct?
