Default Prothane Sway Bar Bushings question

So I have been searching the threads for reviews on sway bars and I decided to get the Stillen sway bars. I found a good deal on there website $252.78 shipped. http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=STISWAY01&c=SU
I want to get the Prothane Sway Bar Bushings also but every where I look for them I see part # PTP-14-1115 and PTP-14-1116 and they say there for a 03-04 Z. I have an 05 Z and I am wondering did they just not update there info on what years there bushings can fight on the Z? I am 95% sure they will work for my car but I just want to make sure. Can anyone confrim this before I buy?

Yup, I have these on my 05 350z
I purchased a Tanabe Front used swaybar from a fellow member that came with no bushings.After searching I came across these and purchased both front bushings and
rear(these come with replacement brackets).They are just about the same size/diameter as stock,from what I can tell.Still waiting on the rear swaybar to test fitment.

I don't think bushings come with the stillen sway bar. I was looking at this post and it looks like they do not come with any. https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...-database.html

Thumbs up

The older gold Stillen bars did not come with bushings, at least not went I bought them. I have Prothane bushing for my bars and they fit great. I measured the diameter of front and rear bars and went to PepBoy's. Rears came with mounting brackets with grease nipples, the fronts did not. I re-used the front mounting plates. I even got more of the bushing grease while I was there at PepBoy's Fit was perfect and no noise for 3 yrs now. A worthy investment as the OEM bushings were pretty soft.
