Thousands of people have the clunk and some have fixed it, you should just install the clunk fix and take our word for it.

theres only a few clunk fixes left in the GB... should i consider just upgrading the whole sway bar? like to a Progress one or something?
Well i orderd the 7/8 inserts heres some pics i tried useing there clamp but i had to bendit to work but eventualy took it off due to frustration the stock takes some elbow grease to put on but works if you use silicone and some tapping of a mallet..

The Clunk fix only works with the Racing Beat Sway bar not the oem sway bar (protege and p5) or Progress one.
Not sure if itll be a month but you will end up getting it.

I have the clunk fix and i still got the clunk back after 6 months (probb cuz i didnt get new bushings) but i used Teflon tape and it works like a charm
I really should post my solution, but I would have to do a memory swip after I showed you. I heavily modded my sway bar brackets and bushings. I'll post a pic for s**** and giggles after I clean the car out and off today or tomorrow. You"ll never have this problem again and the brackets are greasable. Yes I said it "greasable" while being on the car. I did it after I kept braking the clamps while autoX'ing due to a really tight setted AWR rear bar. Not only did it fix the clunk, it also fixed the snapping issue. I went through 5 brackets in less than 1 year. Now I'm not so worried 
I totally missed this somehow. It is like this, but the bushings and the clamps are modded. They will not go back to clunking. I've been running this setup for almost 9 months and only greased it twice and no signs of wear, cracking, or flaw "so far". I'll se after another year of autoX.
