Re: urethane bushing
I just used vicks front sway bar urethane kit and rear panhard kit.
Issues I had:
front swaybar kit:
all four bushing had to be ground down on the grinder because they were about 2x as big as what would fit. No big deal. still worked.
Rear panhard bushing kit:
Both bushings fit inside the panhard rod without too much struggle. But, the metal inserts that go into bushings would not fit. I need a drill bit make that happen.
I cant speak for the front bushings, but you might expect some struggle. Still pleased with the end result. I think the urethane bushings should last forever.

Re: urethane bushing
i went with the rubber ones, i heard too that they are trouble and hard, so that will also make the ride stiffer

Re: urethane bushing
2x too big? That's crazy. I'm sceptical about buying their A-Arm kit now. I have no interest in grinding a $100+ kit to make it fit.
