Yes they do.
I used to have the Cusco bar set on my car. I ran the prothane bushings on the oem bars for a short time, I suppose you could try them with the Cusco bar's, though maybe a Cusco bar user has prothane bushings on and can comment.

I suspect a 21MM prothane would also work on the rear, if 22s aren't available. You can get Prothane's from their web site or on Ebay. They include special grease.
Oh..you should be able to use stock bushings as well...just put em on to see. A small gap is ok.

Hey guys, just wanted to update on this subject. The Cusco instructions say to reuse the OEM Bushings which are 34mm front and 21mm rear, so any aftermarket bushings for the stock sway bars should work just fine.
I decided to go with Prothane as well, like TusconG35, however I really didn't want red bushings. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but I really didn't want the underbelly of my car to scream AMERICA. So I did some digging and found that Prothane makes those exact same bushings but in black too. Here's the part numbers that will fit the Cusco bars if anyone wants the black polyurethane Prothane bushings:
Front: 14-1115-BL
Rear: 14-1125-BL
I received both of mine this week and am just waiting on Whiteline Endlinks, then will be doing the install. The Prothane bushings look very nice quality, and both came with the grease. I'll post some photos up in here afterwards.

The 34MM Prothane one should work just fine for the Cobb, if it's a 35mm bar. I test fitted my 34mm one on the Cusco bar last week, and it fits fine - a small gap, but fine besides that, and it will close up once the bracket is secured and tightened anyways.

How did you find out already that the universal one wouldn't fit? I'm assuming most likely cuz the universal one wouldn't fit correctly into the bushing brackets for the Z, with the vanes it has.

It is kind of surprising, after all of the searching I've done, that with all of the 35mm aftermarket swaybar options available.. no one seems to make a 35mm bushing kit compatibile with the oem Z brackets. There is a Hotchkis kit out there, but the wait is 2-5 months for delivery. yes, Months.
