Default oem swaybar with f7 lca problem

I recently installed f7 lca's on my crx si, and had to get new endlinks (also f7) because the stock ones don't fit into the new lca's. But the endlinks are too big for the bushing in the oem swaybar and the mounting holes on the chassis. Does anyone sell bushings/mounts for the oem swaybar that fit these endlinks or do I need to run an aftermarket swaybar with this setup?

A bigger oem rear sway is never a bad idea, also dont use the F7 endlinks they are spherical bearings and are way to loud for DD. Do u have the right F7 endlinks? Cuz they make different ones, DC type R ones being the bigger set.

U are actually suppose to use those with the spherical bearing that f7 has. They are tapered for the bearings. The rubber ones don't give the free motion that the endlinks are suppose to provide. And search shperical endlinks on here, more problems then they worth. I'm selling my new F7 endlinks, bought hardern rubber OEM links instead.
