Hey guys I am planning to order a set of Progress Tech front and rear adjustable swaybars, but am also planning to order a set of Energy Suspension bushings since they are greasable and are stronger. Does anyone know where to purchase them for the front and rear? I have looked everywhere, but can't find them specifically for the Rx8. I have found sets of universal ones, but am not sure on the size. Does anyone know the size of the greaseable ones needed for Progress Tech sways? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. But where can I buy the ones specifically from Energy Suspension? The polyurethane ones are greaseable right?

Have you tried Summit Racing?

I used the progress tech bars and their supplied bushings and they worked fine. HOWEVER, I also ordered some "formula 5" lube from energy suspension (I believe they are the manufacturers of it) because it is a HQ teflon lube that (according to some well known knowledgeable folk here) is much better than the standard lube supplied by PT.

The only problems I've run into are:
-After about 8 months they got a little squeaky and needed to be re-lubed. The greaseable ones would have made this a piece of cake. Even after they were squeaking and needed lubricating, there was only a tiny sign of wear.
-When I was having some suspension issues I decided to generally tighten everything down a lot. This probably was a BAD idea for sway bar bushings, as I have a feeling the extra pressure didn't do anything except squeeze the lube out the sizes. Be sure to use the proper torque specs (I think it was 38 ft lbs for the front bushings and 19 ft lbs for the rear).
