Icon6 EM1 sway bar bushings advice

What should I do about these worn bushings? OEM bushings are garbage. Does anyone know what aftermarket bushings are compatible with an EM1 rear sway bar? Also, How can I prevent the sway bar from getting further rust damage. Is there a way to protect this used sway bar I just picked up. Thanks









Has anyone here ever used Energy Suspension bushings? Are they my best bet?
What about spherical endlinks?

I have blox spherical's front and rear. Have had them for a few days and they seem pretty good. Deffinetly built stong, dang things are 2 times as thick and stocks.
I just orderd energy Suspension sway bar bushings yesterday, They are around 9-10 cheeper then honda so i said what the hell.

For the rust just sand it down and paint it, i did mine, however it wasnt nearly as bad as yours.

Any end link with spherical connections will wear after 2-3 years and start making excessive noise. They won't last nearly as long as new OEM replacement end links.

Oh and those OE end links have ball joint connections, not bushings.
