need saddles for H&R 25mm tubular swaybar

25mm tubular H&R swaybar SADDLES needed!
so i bought this H&R 25mm tubular sway bar for the rear...

got the bar, but noticed no rubber bushings with it (larger ones from stock so they work with the larger dia. bar)

i emailed the vendor and he shipped the bushings immediatelly...

i got the box, never opening it until yesterday when i was finally able to get the car up on a lift and do the swaybar swap...

open the box to notice, NO saddles to go over the larger rubber bushings

now, i can't remember who the vendor was, if i see the name i'd remember...

since i don't, where do i get saddles for the H&R 25mm sway bar?
Anyone know?

Interesting, I didn’t know H&R made a rear bar larger than 19mm solid and that one uses the stock bracket. H-Sport makes a 25.5mm hollow bar; perhaps that’s what you are looking for and your best bet is to contact them directly since they are sort of in your back yard.

Robino -

H&R and H-Sport are two different lines. I have the H-Sport front and rear comp. sway bars (25mm rear + 27mm front - hollow)

Contact them here - from their Web site - they can ship these parts to you.

IE sells a 25mm rear sway?

just looked and they only sell 22mm sways

I ask is because i've sent emails to both, Drew and Cory at Hotchkiss and neither have gotten back to me going on a week now.
Phone just rings and rings...customer service lacks if i had to say.

Now i do remember where i bought the bar, the guy's nick here is Scooby03 i think...but he hasn't gotten back to me either.

I went and looked at their site and it does say 22mm... However, I have it installed on my car; I assumed since it was hallow it was the effective equivelant to 22mm. Just eyeballing it during install it seemed larger than 22mm; but that could have been a illusion... Now I'm curiouse, I'll measure tonight and report back.
