Default Where can I find sway bar bushings?

I've been told that when I put the sway bar on my G35, I should get some polyeurathene bushings for it. Where can I find them at? I'm a little hesitant to stick anything in it, because when I put motor mounts in my old B15 Sentra, it made idle horrible; will this happen with those bushings?

I recommend the Prothane's for bars that mean for your to reuse the oem bushings. You will not have idle issue's related to sway bar bushings. The only issue's that come up with sway bar bushings is related to not lubricating them properly on install or not knowing that poly bushings do in fact require periodic cleaning and relubing. When bushings start talking to you and making noise, they are telling you "hey, I need to be cleaned and lubed", that noise also means they are suffering wear.

the part numbers are 14-1115, 14-1116. I think they are backordered again. I got both sets from them earlier this spring to go with the stillen sways.

Hhhmmm, maybe it is because I got them from a vendor who just happened to be a friend. Strange indeed. I'll ask him tomorrow.

I got the bushings after the sways were in for a month. At first I wasn't going to change them and after looking closer at the rubber material saw some wear that I wanted to change since I spent the $$ to upgrade. Another $40 was worth it.

I can not tell the exact impact of the bushings as I went up a step on the sways to hard rear and medium front when I changed as well as adding 350z H techs.

I love the feel & drop now. Just some a-arms and toe bolts to get some adjustment, as this is also my daily driver, and I am ready to track the car.
