Stillen Sway Bar - Did you use stock or poly bushings?

Just as the title indicates I'm curious what type of bushings people used for their Stillen Sway bar (if you got one). I actually wanted the Racingline one but it seems to be gone from stock forever so done waiting for that one.

I've heard that the stock bushings provide a softer ride, but will suffer more wear and tear due to the aftermarket sway bar. This was why some recommended poly bushings for the install I gather.

What type of bushings should I use? If they're poly, can anyone tell me what type/size of polyurethane bushings to get so I can go pick them up and get this baby installed?

Bump...about to just install this using stock bushings unless there is some specific reason to not do that. Thanks.

I've had my Stillen RSB on for about a month now, and it did make a difference. I also have the Racingline FSTB on my car, but I can tell you that with both mods, the car feels more neutral. Got some amazing two-lane backroads around me with all types of different corners (decreasing radius hairpins, sweepers, tight S curvers, etc.) and at full attack mode, no understeer, less sway in corners.

I'm on the regular SV suspension, springs, etc. Gotta say for 160 bucks, I'm very pleased with the Stillen RSB and it's performance.
