They DID come with bushings (mine are red), but not with the re-grease-able ones like these, and no new brackets, but no biggie.

The picture for the replacement bushings is misleading.
The bushings that come with the bar are not grease-able, and you need to use you existing mounting brackets (the bushings fit perfectly in them).

Would it be worth the cash to replace all the endlinks as well? My rear endlinks have the bushings oozing out the sides.

It's a test....you have to figure out which color is the left & right side bushing.

Yeah, but it might be difficult to get a grease gun up in there to grease them though.

They are solid.
Measure them with some digital calipers - front should be 28.6mm and rear should be 22.2mm.

I hope not LOL... Should be pretty simple to understand though both sway bars are different sizes. I decided earlier on that I would upgrade to the bushings that you can grease.

PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!
Everyone who bought new swaybars -
Please be careful! These bars will drastically alter the handling of the car. It's very neutral, but if you overcook a corner the back-end will come around on you. It's fine if you are prepared for it, but I don't want anyone wrecking driving like a hooligan in an uncontrolled setting.

With front and rear or just one or the other?
Ive never really pushed the car hard enough to see what would happen with the regular ones so I hope I don't reach this limitation on these!
Thanks for the heads up

I used both on my car and it was neutral. If you do just the front bar it understeers like a pig; just a rear bar and the ass-end gets pretty skittish.
They will really draw attention to shitty tires.
