i'm not sure what you guy are talking about...
22mm rear sway bar is the biggest you should go on the street without upgrading the front?
what are you basing that on? that fact that a very few people have cracked windshields?
i was running a race suspension as far as spring rates and dampner valving goes and i was running the stock front bar with the 25mm eibach rear bar for YEARS without any problems. i am now running the Steeda 28.6mm Race rear bar with the H&R 24mm adjustable front on the street with even stiffer springs and rock hard shocks and once again i have zero problems.
on a side note i have also tired the SVT 21mm, Progress 7/8" and the H&R 24mm rear bars on the street and personally wouldn't waste my money on anything less than 24mm with the stock front. i liked the Eibach rear and stock front the best on the street and it gives good crisp handling with a easy to handle breakaway in lift-off oversteer conditions.
truth be told you probably wont feel any difference in the bushings driving on the street unless you are really pushing the car near the limit working it back and forth on a really twisty section of road. and saying the polly bushings make the bar feel 1mm bigger would probably not be ture or accurate, as the only thing the polly bushings do is reduce the compliance and deflection of the stock rubber bushings. once the stock rubber bushing has gone through all of it's compliance and deflection, it works the same as a polly bushing acting almost directly(for lack of a better way of explaining it) on the metal part of the links.
if you are buying an aftermarket swaybar, it "should" come with all of the bushings required including the endlinks. if it doesn't, Energy Suspension sells endlink kits on thier own for about $30-50cnd at most decent autoparts stores like Lordco, Mopac, Napa or something along the same lines.
