I think this is one of those rare instances where a less-expensive aftermarket part is actually superior to the OEM part (although, the last time I looked into this, circa 1996, the OEM part wasn�t that pricey so give us your pricing now for comparison). I�ve been very pleased with the Prothane-brand of mounts from J.C.Whitney (I know, �Whitney?�, but IMHO it�s a quality design at a great price):

I found the large bracket 11/16� version (85ZX9777B) to work very well on the 18mm rear 308 anti-roll bar while the small bracket 11/16� version (88ZX7452A) is best for the 18mm front anti-roll bar. (I�m not sure what model you have so please measure your own anti-roll bars before ordering.)

If you're interested, here�s the links to scans of a two page article on this subject that Mr. Roush was kind enough to include in the 13 April 1996 issue of the FML:

Anybody use non Ferrari rear sway bar bushings? What is the best source and part number. I'm sure there must be some similar out there for less than 1/2 the Ferrari price.
