What are you trying to accomplish? They won't make much of a difference in handling and you would have much better results replacing the rear cradle bushes and radius rod bushes.

Well, i haven't got the bars on the car yet and one of the factory bushings is damaged, so thought i would just upgrade before the install. Basically i just need a new bushing...

Try energy suspension, I think they make a bushing for everything.

Any urethan replacemnt bushing for the OEM sway bars would be a done grade from the OEM bushing. The OEM bushing is really well done. There i a piece of spring steel between the outr and inner layer of rubber around the bar. There are two FRP plastic filets at the base of the buhing for additional stability. The factory bracket are robust. The stamped shape adds significant strength. The factory strap is so good we re-use it with our upgraded sway bars.

Your best option is to get factory replacements for factory diameter bars.
