Energy Suspension Polyurethane Control Arm Bushings
Hello all RX-8 Owners out there looking to reduce Arm Deflection, maintain the RX-8's alignment and overall consistency in spring rate resulting in a more consistent track time and driver experience. We are releasing both the front and rear control arm bushing sets to the public for the RX-8. Feedback is always appreciated, thanks guys/gals!!

Great!
Now, what's the ES part # for rear sway bar bushings? OEM replacement? It's not noted yet on the online catalogue.
Please note that there's a difference in rear sway bar bushing depth within model years of the RX8.

I bought a bushing from DPE's Ebay fire sale and it was too thick. It was a SuperPro bushing listed as OEM replacement. Tanabe sway bar kits also have had bushing depth issues with MY '06+ in threads that I've read. My guess is this difference in bushing depth between model years must account for some aftermarket swaybar endlinks not being short enough for proper installation on certain model years.
FWIW, DPE still has a Super Pro bushing listed as a Mazdaspeed sway bar fit:
