Question Sway Bar Brushings ?

I recently ordered some Energy Suspension sway bar brushings. I have a 02 4dr civic, with original factory sway bars. The place I ordered them from told me that 1" brushings were the right size for my front sway bar. I also checked the Suspension FAQ and the part numbers match. The thing is though when I put the brushing around one side of the sway bar it doesn't fit snug. It actually has a gap, you can spin the brushing all the way around with ease. When I installed the rear brushings on my factory rear sway bar they fit snug. I haven't taken anything apart yet cause I want to know that these are the right size. I wanted to know if this was the same for anyone else, or do I have the wrong brushings. I tried search and couldn't come up with anything like this. Thanks for any help on this. There are a few pics below of the brushing around the sway bar.

The 02 Sedans had a 22mm or 20mm front bar... the 02 Coupes had a 25mm (1")

So ,the sales rep told me the wrong size. Great, now I have to order them all over again. It took me 3 months just to get these. Energy only makes them to order now. I think instead I will get Neuspeed ones if they make them for my size. Does anyone know if those are just as good? Great, Nuespeed only offers 25mm, and the place I got them from only offers 16mm besides the 1". Does anyone know where I can get the right size?

What about these?

BTW - bushings not brushings

As per HERE the 25.4mm is the coupe and the sedan has 22.2mm, so the 22mm should work.

Thanks for the info. Sorry about the spelling. Would it matter though that the summit ones don't have that groove at the bottom, cause the ones for the car fit into a groove where they mount.

a small backing plate fixes that (Hotchkis uses them for their front anti-roll bars on the Si and RSX)
