You will most likely have to contact the manufacturer or the distributor to find out the bushing sizes.

first hand experience is king, so many variables when it comes to "sizes" the dimensions of the bushings can very so much.

I guess the other option since no one seems to have insight is to push the bushings out and measure. Then contact ES and see if they can match up the dimensions.

Ahhh $400 for non-adjustable, inferior quality metals and **** bushings... Why, why, why?
Keep your OEM ones, get them powder coated to make them look pretty and order either OEM or a good reputable replacement set of bushings.

Adjustable front lower control arms? lolwat?

Also, they're made from T6-2014 aluminum, which is way stronger than even 7075, so you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I'll give you the bushings aren't great. Poly sucks honestly.

I've seen aftermarket front control arms where an extra hole (or two) for the sway bar link is added to change the torsion rate. Sorry if I didn't specify.
Yes, adjustable sway bar links and or a different sway bar would do the same, but I've seen them. So this is rather a good looking shiny piece that doesn't do much difference unless 8lbs of weight loss, as stated by OMNI, is that important. On a daily driver, nobody will tell the difference imo.


Also, they're made from T6-2014 aluminum, which is way stronger than even 7075, so you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
It doesn't say so in that link. Not saying they are not but the specs, or lack thereof, made me think of low quality materials. I wouldn't care to look in OMNI's own site.

I'll give you the bushings aren't great. Poly sucks honestly.
I'll stick with my stock/Sankei(555) lca's and OEM/Hardrace bushings.

Again, $400 for no gains other than looks(weight loss) is rather steep imo.
