I have searched, and searched. No clear answer as to the size of our stock sway bars, but I seem to see that they may be
F: 18mm and R: 16mm, can this be confirmed? Also, I see that the brand Prothane makes universal poly bushings. I hope you can see where I'm going with this. Will these fit? or is the length measurement off? Or Can anyone direct me to some that are known to fit? I would measure my bushings but they are disintegrated pretty badly to the point I am not sure I would get a proper measurement. Worst case scenario, I buy squishy OEM rubber replacements.

 Well. They were a bit of a pain to install, yes. Only because the material has absolutely no give to it. The lubricant is also very tacky; it is disturbing. 20mm fits the front perfectly. As far as the rear goes, I would see if maybe a 17mm could fit on there. I did get the 16mm to go on, but it remains with the slightest gap where the bushing is split after install. The OEM bushing has a wedge shape to sit against the frame, whereas these do not. I don't know if that is what makes the difference. I didn't get a picture of the rear due to the thing we call "night." May get one tomorrow if anyone wants it. I have no opinion on how they feel as of yet, but I'll report back when I drive the car.
