Urethane Bushings?

I ordered the AP sway bars and need to know what bushings is everyone using for the upgraded sway bars. The AP sways are 32mm and 19mm which is 1 1/4 amd 3/4. Correct me if i'm wrong guys.

I would just call Racing Beat and order a set of bushings from them. They use the same size bar and the bushings they use fit your stock brackets.

don't recommend the RB bushings, order the Energy Suspension bushings from any number of auto parts places because you can get them with grease zerk fittings which RB does not have, it will squeak all the time if you don't, they work on the front for sure, you'd have to check bracket dimensions on the rear, which they show on their website, etc

The only problem with the Energy ones is the width, on the MazdaSpeed bar the Energy bushings bind up on the bar stops because they are so wide, they may be ok with the AP bar. The nice thing about the RB bushings is they are the same width as stock.
