Additionally in reguards to the Stillens, I haven't ordered yet and I am wondering where I can get them the cheapest. thanks

I ordered a set from Grubbs yesterday, they have a bunch in stock, unlike most places I called. I paid 299 plus shipping.
Also, Summit racing carries the bushings too for less than suspension.com.
prothane 14-1115 - 13.99
prothane 14-1116 - 19.39
Both places, however, are out of stock.

Anybody have any experience w/these Progress front/rear sways? Other than being solid and possibly a bit heavier than others, and the non-adjustable front, any other drawbacks? Pretty competitive price...
Construction: Solid; Front bar diameter: 27mm, Rear bar diameter: 22mm; Powdercoated graphite finish
Bushings: Polyurethane
Stiffness settings for the front/rear sways: Fronts non-adjustable; Rears are adjustable
Approximate Price: $260?
Pros/Cons/Experiences/Settings: Front/rear bars can be purchased separately

"This part is temporarily out of stock, but you can order it now. Tentative ship date: 8/17/2005, if your order is placed today."
I did find that they have the Energy suspension bushings in stock and ready to ship today.
The total for the energy suspension bushings was $36.85 shipped. That is $13.95 a set for front and rears, greasable.

ENS-9-5168R for the front 1 3/8" bar
ENS-9-5158R for the rear 7/8" bar

Sin4me, hey thanks for the props. I bet youcan just call Summit and cancel and then just order the other bushings. They are great to deal with on the phone. Don't e-mail them, it takes a long time to get a reply, just call them. They told me I will get the bushings in two days sent from the Nevada warehouse. Note that I am in CA.
