any aftermarket bushing updates?
okay, i just finished searching the database under the term "bushing" and here's what i got (correct any mistakes)...
sway bar bushings
polyurethane standard with 350evo and hotchikis
not standard with others (stillen, cusco, nismo) but prothane offers OEM sized that could replace but the one thread had no feedback yet on how well they worked
eibach? unknown but picture on website suggests comes with bushings
rear camber and toe/traction rods
JIC comes with "hard" bushings/spherical
stillen with polyurethane/hemi-spherical according to their website
kinetix with energy suspension polyurethane
350evo - ?pending
front upper a-arms camber adjustment
350evo monoball or OEM rubber (also any update on caster kit for adjustment?)
kinetix - energy suspension polyurethane
performance nissan - ? please fill in
general bushing kits
nothing from energey suspension yet
prothane - just sway bushings in one post, nothing on there website
350 evo-
spherical bearing kit - 6 piece (sorry couldnt find what locations these are intended to replace)
delrin - intended for race. not on website. ?also locations replaced?
polyurethane - intended for street. not on website. ?released? ?locations replaced?
please fill any any missing information or impressions on any of these bushing upgrades
hope a unified thread on bushings will be helpful

Prothane's site does mention that they recently added the poly bushings for the oem bars, should be listed in a "what's new" section.
Bushing at the top of my list to kill off is the bushing in the lower rear control arm at the toe cam bolt. Last I heard EVO350 was working on a whole new lower arm, don't quote me on that.

Help, I have the Stillen Sway bars and would like to install them in the next few weeks.
I have searched the suspension section and unable to locate any definitive info on which aftermarket bushings to use with the stillen sways. The Stillen sways are 7/8" rear and 1 3/8" front.
I went to the zchickz site for install proceduers and I noticed the front sways are held in by 4 bolts while aftermarket bushings look like they only need two bolts is this OK. Will the OEM bushings work with the Stillen bars?
Will the following parts work with Stillen sways. Thanks.
Energy Suspension:
Front 1 3/8 P/N 9-.5158
Rear 7/8 P/N 9.5168

Decided to bring this thread from the dead.
Prothane supplies Stillen with polyurethane bushings for the sways. I bought a set and they are good quality, so here's the info.
03-04 350Z Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit, 34mm Bar #14-1115 03-04 350Z Rear Sway Bar Bushing Kit, 21mm Bar #14-1116
http://www.prothane.com their side gives plenty of useful info about the difference between rubber and urethane.

so these bracket has only 2 holes while the stock bracket has 4, will they work fine? also will they work on Cusco 35mm and 21mm? I thought Stillen is also 35mm front and 22mm rear
Thanks
Thanks

The one with the bracket is for the rear. The one without the bracket is for the front. I just installed these today on my Stillen bars and they fit fine even though you could tell they are a little small. The Prothane bushing were designed with the OEM sway bar specs.
