Energy part numbers I found: Note that I have stock end links on a 2000.
9.8105 end link bushings and washers 8 each, i"m assuming you only need a set for front and rear.

9.5156 rear swaybar bushings with Zerk

9.5161 front swaybar busings with Zerk

Does anyone have the OEM swaybar bushing part numbers in case I go that route.

You should be ok as long as you lube the poly bushings.

I've had poly before on a Honda with Tokico adj coilovers. proper set-up. The car handled great but the squeaking was embarrassing going over humps!

Ok, bit the bullet and got the ES sb bushings with Zerks and also the end link bushings.

9.5156 rear swaybar bushings with Zerk 3/4"
9.5161 front swaybar bushings with Zerk 1"
9.8105 end link bushings

I guess its oks to use Lucas Marine grease on these, this is what they recommend mini-grease-gun-combo | Mini Zerk Grease Gun with Automotive Friendly Grease

Now the question is fitment and additional hardware. I read a post saying that you have to file the rear bracket a bit because the holes are not close enough. How about the front? Are they a direct fit?
Also that you need some washers as the holes on the brackets are wider/bigger? Are the washers for 12mm or 14mm bolts?
Thanks

After a few days of research, I concluded that Lucas Blue Marine grease was the best easily obtained grease for my new Prothane poly sway bar bushings (after using up the laughably tiny grease packet that came with them). The biggest thing to worry about is wash-out, and since it's marine grease, it's highly water resistant. I just made sure to pump a metric shit-ton in, and it's been pushing a year and still no squeaks.

I'm actually expecting an email back from Lucas, the rep said he will check with their chemist. I asked which is better the marine or X-tra heavy duty (one is polyurea the other lithium based) for poly bushings. But I'm with ya with washout, I think the marine would be better. Now I wish I can just use my Sta-lube marine grease but not sure how an ALuminum complex based grease would do to the bushings.
