Energy Suspension Bushing..
I want them...where do I get them? I looked on their site and they have no exact application for the 05 Civic EX 2DR. I'd like to fully swap the front and the rears to the poly bushings. Also can I sway the bushing of the front sway? and the rear ITR sway i put in? I know jegs carries these bushings...Im just not sure which ones are right for my car.
Help?
Thanks!

What??
ES has a set and it is on their website. Trust me, I have them. One of the rears are a PITA. There is a DIY on here for the rear, but the pictures I have to send you. The fronts need to be pressed in.
For sways, just get poly bushings for the size of your swa bars.
Front sway bar 15.6mm
Rear sway bar 22mm if it is ITR.

Rep Power: 0 I see a kit for 01-04 but my Civic is an 05 2dr Ex.
Btw the size of the front sway bushing is that for Ex?
Thanks Robb!
Where do I buy them individually?

You want gray not red and greasable
22mm - 9.5158 - ITR bar
16mm - 9.5154 - front sway bar assuming you have the 15.6mm one

Rep Power: 387 Yes, those are the right parts. Remember, you want black.
I really couldn't tell you. I installed my rears bushings and coilovers at the same time so things all felt different. I have yet to install the fronts because I need to find someone with a press that won't cost me too much $$.
Email or IM me for pics for the rear DIY.

Rep Power: 0 Whats the big deal with black? In the picture of the front and rear control arms there are black and red bushings. Sorry for all the questions, Im just extremely set on getting this right so I don't have to deal with problems when it comes to install.

Rep Power: 387 What is the difference between the Red and Black Bushings?
Quote From Energy Suspension's Official Website:
"Both are our Energy's HYPER-FLEX™ performance polyurethane formulations. Energy has impregnated selected black polyurethane components with graphite–to add a lubrication property. Additionally, both Energy Suspension ® red and black polyurethane components are engineered differently than OEM rubber components–to be free a floating and non-binding design. This allows for the additional durometer (firmness) of the components, which adds to the performance improvement of the vehicle overall.
Through its 25 years of design and formulation of polyurethane, Energy's polyurethane components are the best on the market today."
