Default ITR Rear Sway Bar + Blox Endlinks on a 2000 Civic Coupe

I recently picked up an ASR subframe brace with an ITR sway bar. I also picked up a pair of BLOX endlinks.

When attaching the endlinks to the sway bar, it wouldn't fit into the bushing with the metal tube in it..you know that tube that goes in the middle of the bushings (for lack of a better way to describe it).


So I took the metal tube out, and the endlinks fit in fine, I definitely felt a difference in the way the car handled. I was checking out everything a week later, and noticed that the endlink had ripped the bushing out of the swaybar, and the endlink was just dangling there off of the LCA.

Now, my question is: Should I just replace them with OEM ITR bushings and still not use the inner tube, and put washers that are wider than the bushing hole in the swaybar to prevent it from getting pulled out again, or is there an aftermarket bushing out there that will allow me to use the BLOX endlinks?

Thanks in advance




Picture edit.
