Energy Supension 36mm sway bar bushing question

Hey guys.

Can I re-use my stock sway bar bushing mounts for the 36mm sized bushings? Will they fit properly, or do I have to get new (taller) mounts from Energy?

I paid to have the stock mounts powdercoated and hope to re-use them.

Thanks to anyone who knows the answer.

The shells/mounts are all the same.

I thought Energy Suspension only made up to 34mm bushings. Did you find 36's that fit our cars?

Yeah the shells won't fit the ES 36mm bushings. The 34mm are the only ones that will fit, Lon from Top-Down solutions commented on this last week. He sells the 36mm bushings.

What he does, is buys the 34mm and turns the insides to 36mm with the proper tools.

I just put the energy 36mm on a few weeks ago. They fit very snugly cuz the bolt is a little shorter than the stock one but I had to cut the spacer down a tiny bit on the passenger side one cuz the mount was positioned weird but made it fit without any other problems. You should be fine.

Notice that there's a bracket delete option, under bushing options, from Lon:
