Default Poly Sway Bushings

Anyone know where I can buy some poly swaybar bushings for a 96?

I see that a lot of places have them for other models, but it seems that performance bushings for the 92-96 es300 are lacking..

You'll have to mod them ever so slightly, but it's no big deal. Buy a rear sway bar. They all come with poly bushings.
Poly bushings & mounts won't do next to anything compaired to real upgrades. All they do is squeak & squawk as the grease runs out of them.

I realize there wont be much of a performance boost, but my rubber mounts are shot, so I figured I would replace them with the good stuff..

Did those links include a rear sway bar?

By the way, do you know any online stores that carry the weatherstripping for the two front doors?

I just bought some sway bushings for my 98 es to complement the upcoming daizen control arm bushings and jic coilovers. I thought the sway bushings were a recommended upgrade short of sway bars ???

Bushings are a 5% mod.
They do that last 5% of what you're looking for.

So should I replace the stock with stock, or poly?

Okay, it looks like I will be going with the basic rubber front bushings.

As for the rear a whiteline RSB is like $166 shipped

The stock RSB is 16MM a whiteline RSB is 18MM with poly bushings...

I am pondering: poly bushings for the RSB, or a new whiteline RSB (that comes with poly bushings)

is there that much of a difff between the 2MM diameter difference?

I dont know where you check on the Whiteline but I started poking around and emailed these people. Only $137.46 for the BTR36 which is good for the 96 model, possible 92-96.
