FE2 guys, come on in.

For those of you with the FE2 suspension package (36/24mm sway bars), what size sway bar bushings did you buy if/when you bought new polyurethane bushings? I have been to 2 shops already and their suppliers are Energy Suspension and Prothane, and neither of them had the right size bushing. (At least it didn't seem to be the right size) Neither of the 2 companies went higher than a 32mm front bushing, and the back one went up to 22mm.

If you could provide me with a part # for the bushings you purchased that would be great. I really need to get them as soon as possible...my rubber bushings are shot.

Re: FE2 guys, come on in.

ES make a 24mm rear bushing, but not a 36mm front.

Re: FE2 guys, come on in.

I went with Spohn's greasables for the front and the 24mm Prothane's for the rear.

Re: FE2 guys, come on in.

I got my rear ones from Lon at TDS, and my fronts from Spohn, both greasable. But now I'm running 36/24 bars. If your gonna spend the money to upgrade, why not get bigger bars at the same time?

You've got an RS, so you didn't have 36/24 bars from the factory. Since I have a Z28, mine are already that size.

Whoops, I guess I didn't read carefully enough.
