Replaced Sway Bar Bushing Today!!!
Best $20.00 Ive spent on this car in a long time. I got the Prothane Black bushings and there was a massive difference from what was in there. I doubt there have ever been replaced. The new ones were about 10x= stiffer than stock. I twisted the stock ones 3-fold where I could hardly even open the Prothanes enough to get them on the bars.
Installation was SUPER easy and anyone is capable of doing this.All you do is take off the brackets (12mm bolt) and pull off the old bushing and slide on the new ones ( just remember to grease them up really good!!
As soon as I turned my first corner I noticed a different right away! There was a dramatic decrease in body roll and turning was a great deal smoother.
Highly Recommended. I got my fronts from Amazon for 12.00 shipped and the rears were $9.00
They are currently out of stock but the next cheapest place to buy them is on ebay at 14.00 shipped for the rears!

I think these are just as good as the Daizens. The key is the grease...don't be cheap with the grease...load it up.
I believe Energy Susp made poly bushings for the 2GS as well...color is red.
