Your Eibach should come with the new sway bar bushings that fit it

If end links not included- simply ask parts store for help- common item found on shelf- poly bushings and end links

Odd that they use the same size front bar

Usually 2 or 3 mil bigger and made from different metals than the stock one

Check the detail of your purchase
Are you buying from someone here?

Go big or Go Home

Get a matched set and you will be happy

Make sure you are getting what you think!

When buying the sway bar, it comes with larger diameter bushings to accomodate the larger bar. The stock bar is 19mm. Some TL users got the Energy Suspension sway bar bushing that are greasable. They are a bit big and require you to dremal and make the hole bigger. I did this and it was a pain. The non-greaseble ones don't need to be dremaled.

I don't think anyone makes upgraded endlinks for our car.

The sway bar bushings should not require any modification to install if you have the right parts in hand. Its a tight fit for a reason.

The grease on poly bushings serves a purpose - thats why its there and some types even have grease nipples!

Good mechanics spray silicone lube on all the rubber bushing under a car-including the sway bar and end link bushings- which means yours probably needs doing!

A quick check of 2 local parts stores online, says 3 makers of end link sets- and thats not even looking for the really trick ones

so would there be any benefit of just upgrading the rear bar and leaving the stock with poly bushings?

Do one or the other

Switch the bars and make the car really tight on the corners
or leave the stock bars and upgrade the bushings for a reasonable ride and handlng.
I was looking around and if someone will measure the end link bushing sizes, those are available- just not packed as a kit for TL
