Front/rear sway bar bushings - What're U using?

[Satan]

There are universal sets available from Energy Suspension. Since I've done the poly bushing upgrade, that's what I am thinking of going with.

What've ya'll done, when still using the stock swaybars? Autozone's got 'em for ~$22 for the fronts, but I'd rather go poly to match 'em up with the rest.

Just ordered me some stock rubbers. Also going ES bushings.
Could there really be a difference between poly and rubber (considering we're running stock sways)?

Poly bushing are more durable than rubber. They also don't compress like rubber under extreme loads. I don't think it's performance as much as longevity.

Elvis, I'm using suspension techniques sway bar busings... and ST sway bars. Might be worth your time to just buy new sway bars since they come with the new busings, and REALLY help out the handling.

~20 years of stock bushings on most Supras? Isn't that durable?

I'd hate to swap out the the sway bars, just for the bushings. It feels GOOOOOOD already with the ST poly bushings all the way around. So, I know I can just get away with Toyota or aftermarket rubber bushings, but would like some polysanyways.

Upgrade the sway bars. I just did it this year, and it should have been my first mod I ever did to the car! But if you have very stiff springs already, the bodyroll should already be minor.

I have the prototype Whiteline bars I had made back in 1997 with the supplied Poly bushes and have done many 1000's of miles on them and they're still in great condition, no slop or squeaks (I use a Moly Grease when I assemble Poly parts as the noise bugs me)

It is but polies will last longer with less deflection also.

Trying the Energy Suspension 9.5164R 1-1/8" GREASEABLE S/B SET. Universal set.

Will let ya know how it goes. if I don't update, it's because these worked fine. They are avialble at Autozone and off of Ebay, for close to $25 total (shipped/taxes).

Still think you'd be happier with swapbars... Stock has some nasty tendancies when pushed to the limit...
