Default Urethane bushings for front Swaybar?

I'm looking to add urethane bushings for the stock front swaybar. Anyone know who sells them and the cost? I got the Whiteline rear bar and want the front to work to it's max. Thanks!!!

Those will work for the outers. I meant the ones that go around the bar where it mount up.

oh, like a sleeve type of bushing?

I think if you just find out the diameter, you can find some polyurethane bushings.

I'll have to measure the bar and start hunting. I may just wait and see how it does after the Whiteline is mounted.

Thanks Hornet! They come in 1 inch. I'll scope them out and see how hard they will be to swap out.

Hornet, Do the brackets that come with the Engergy inner bushings match up with the existing holes? It was hard to tell looking at the package then looking at the car. I'm wondering if they are worth the work and the money too.

yes they do line up if you have a bench grinder your gonna have to grind off a little bit off the corners on the brackets to make 'em fit good on the sub frame...

Thanks much, good to know. I have a bench grinder so that's not a problem. I was more worried about the bolt holes. They looked spread apart farther.

Yes, big improvement. I now have the rear Whiteline bar on also and all I can say Is WOW. "Bring on the cones". Even with the stock springs and steelies it handles bad a$$. Can't wait to see how it does with the lowering springs and my 17's
