bushing kit questions
hey guys
it's time to replace my bushings. front sway bar bushings are toast and i'm sure the rest of my bushings could use some time off from my car while some good ones take their place.
but i have a few questions
i've found two kits that look/are described idenitically
http://www.racerwheel.com/e12-1618107g.html
this one ends with G
the next one ends with R
http://www.racerwheel.com/e12-1618107r.html
anyone know what the difference is?
also, i need to buy sway bar bushings seperately.
they have 22mm and 25mm. do i specifically need one or the other or are they for different applications or preferences or something?
my car is a 97 SE
lowered on tokico illumina full coilovers
if anyone can clarify the difference between the kits and the sizes of the sway bar bushings i'd be greatly appreciated.
thanks
i posted this at the accordinglydone forums too, so sorry if you've read this already

Other bushing questions
Got some other questions on suspension bushings: :thinking:
I did replace all the front bushings on my 91 Accord 2 years ago (Energy Suspension kit, installed myself ). Lately I'm getting a light vibration between 70 and 78 mph. Tires have been balanced twice and tires swapped front to rear, but vibration still happens. I noticed yesterday that the lower strut mount bushing on the control arm is sagging. Is that normal? The bolt is about 1/2" off center at about 4:30 postion. Could this bushing be weak and need changing? How long are these things supposed to last? I know I read somewhere that they had to be replaced every so often. ES hasn't answered my emails.
Any thoughts?
