I added the lx size to your post .dmitrik4 said:depends on what you mean by "essentially the same." here's how they go in size:
LX/DX bar: 15mm ES/P5 bar: 16 or 17mm
AWR 19mm bar: 19mm
RB (MP3/MSP) bar: 20mm
AWR 21.5mm bar: 21.5mm

The AWR bushings will work with the horseshoes from the ES, but not from the MP3. The MP3 ones are larger.mp3wannabe said:just to make sure im being super overly redunant....
i have the MP3 sway bar. I have the MP3 busings. I have the MP3 endlinks. I have the MP3 horseshoes.
i also have the horseshoes/bushings/bar from the ES. my endlinks are shot and need to be cut off (54k, rusted solid).
do I *NEED* anything else?
i am being confused about the brackets and bushing in particular.....
heres what i think i need:
bushings from AWR
brackets from AWR
am i correct? do i really need the bushings from them? or should i just use either the MP3 or ES ones?
i just dont want to cut off my sway bar thinkin i have everything i need when i dont.....
^^ Is where I got mine...BlkZoomZoom said:I have a couple of RB MSP swaybars for sale........
The P5 bar I believe is 15mm the racing beat bar is 20 mm ,you have to open the 15 mm bushings to 20mm . This way you can use the P5 horseshoes . you can use a dremel tool with a sanding drum on it to open the bushings . some else has done this ,check back in the post to find that info .dmitrik4 said:when you say "open," you mean just put them on the new bar? IIRC, they are already split, so i can just unwrap them from the current bar and wrap them around the new one. but i haven't looked too closely at them...will i need to cut them?

so you used the stock bushings AND the stock subframe?? good thing i havent bought the brackets yet! saved me $40! thats 40 i can use towards my header!dmitrik4 said:i didn't hog out the bushings at all, just put them on the new bar (the old ES bar is either 16 or 17mm),
...line up with the std and bolt hole on the subframe....
did you get the msp rear crossmember? i had to replace my stock rear crossmember to make the new brackets fitfLyPiNoY7 said:ok, so i have my racing beat bar...it arrived with the mp3 endlinks, mp3 bushings and mp3 brackets...will i be able to mount this directly to my p5?
edit: nvm, they didnt work...im just wondering if i should have gotten the awr brackets since the bar seems to be facing extremely downward...
