Just had a thought while I had a sway bar off the other day, instead of using 2 rubber bushings on them, what is you used 3 washers on each side instead? Same diameter, just use metal so it doesnt flex. Seems like the bar would be more responsive off the bat if it doesnt have anything to "squish".
Is it plausable? Will it make sounds? Will something break?
Im considering it because im a crazy mofo.
And about the sounds, if it creaks or makes noises you can always use grease lawl.

justs get some urathane bushings works almost as good. if you want true solid end links then you should use a ball bearing setup so it has flex but no slop.
my car is stock it just likes sittn lower to the ground than most cars:
Lowes 3" CAI W/filter, hackd off mufflar, MSD Blaster 2 coil and bosch Platinum spark plugs&wires...she roars all the way to 6K
hmm, i had thought about this too. anyone else think this would be a good idea????
Im thinking of trying it anyways. Itll take like 5mins to do, use 12 washers per side (for front anyways, havent looked much at my rear sway) and see if it makes a difference.
You can try it out, but I think it will make your suspension too stiff and cause wheel hop whenever you hit a bump, not to mention that it may stabilize the car but make it unpredictable. I'm sure that if that was all there was to it that we could buy metal bushings.
However, try it for yourself. Just make sure you test it out on bumpy roads and the like.
might look into hemi joint set up.
this is a set for miata's.........
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
Yeah ill still hang on to the bushings (plus Ive got 2 other cars with bushings on them still) incase it doesnt work out. Ill try it out maybe later today or tomorrow.
