how about rear... i would rather have rear ones than front since front is decent sized

I think $120 +or- is reasonable. I would be interested in the rear but I don't think there will be a demand for the fronts since anyone w/o a sei or lxi can get them out of the j/y for dirt cheap. If anything for the front end I would be interested in a strut brace, and I am sure many other people would be also.

basicly i am scraping all the stock bushings and mounts and redoing all that but i am useing the stock bar because like dude said it is decent size (the front) i found a company the has the right size bushings and mounts localy but they will only sell them in pices not with the bars so im puting every thing to gether with or without stock bars i picked up a few stock bars from the junk yard so if any one wants just the bushings and mounts the kit will be around $60.00 to $70.00 other wise the whole thing will be roughly around $160.00 to $170.00 oh and i will paint them any color you want also the junk yard bars r sand blasted befor paint but like i said i will be working on rear bars in the near future ill keep every one posted .

i will look into the rears. Are you just doing new bushings and mounts? I really look into a new rear sway bar that isnt freaking 13mm. Hopefully I can find an ADDCO 19mm. :)


What is the mounts and bushings made out of?

Pricing may not be that decent since the sways are stock...If it was a new bar i would understand the price of 170 but...I don't see why we should pay 100bucks more for a sway bar. 120-130 is fairly reasonable. I am not aware of the cost of sway bars from the junkyard, but i imagine they are not that pricey. s/t cost 150 already, so can you give us a reason to get yours for 170? I'm looking at the logic of it, not to bash at you.

they r made of polyurathane (red) just like addco but since no one makes them i decided to if you plan on getting the rear you might as well get the front and the reason behind the priceing first of all this shit is not cheap look online or any place else and you will find that they cost around $150.00 to $1000.00 for a kit do your reserch and you will see what i am talking about but like i said befor just the bushings and mounts will be around $60.00 to 70.00 and that is by far the best deal you will find by far but like i said ther r sand blasted and painted what ever color you want and not by a spray can this is high quality paint mounts and bushings oh and pics will be up sunday so take a look for your self

it is very easy to find poly bushings for our sway bars.
i had poly bushings on the front and rear sway bars. it took me a while to match them at the store but i got it.
you just need to know the size (diameter) of the front and rear sway bars. the ends, well they are just generic bushings. all the biushings you can buy at autozone or advance autoparts stores.
