Upgrade your swaybar bushings

It took a few months and a very slow boat from down under, but now we can upgrade to poly swaybar bushings and use our stock hardware:

p.s. these should fit the stock and MazdaSpeed bar.

they've been available since before the RX-8 came out, you can order Energy Suspension bushings from almost anywhere for a lot less and they have the grease fittings with new brackets even

universal 1-1/16" Part no. 355-9-5162G for black color bushings, replace the "G" with "R" for red, $13.95 for a pair from Jegs linked above

When you go to install them the bracket on the top side will slightly overlay onto a clip that holds the ABS wire, bracket holes are slotted - push them downward as far as you can, when you tighten the nuts down the bracket will pull down and conform properly with a slight overlay on the clip, nothing to be concerned with

I have a set of the ES ones, did not like the way they fit with the MS bar.

I don't have a clue why, they're more than adequate
