H&R Sway bar bushings

Anyone know where I could buy the Saddles and Bushings for a 19mm H&R rear sway bar?
Thanks,
Jason

How about any 19mm bushings not just H&R?

H&R bushings are teflon coated.

Yes, and apparently, they don't sell them by themselves. I have been on the phone for 3 days now with H&R and a local reseller, trying to get these. Reseller says they don't sell them, H&R says have reseller call to authorize. Reseller still says they don't allow them to be sold by them self. Go through the whole process a few times, and I finally get them to sell me some. What a hassle.
But in the meantime I found the ones listed above for about $10 cheaper, and then some other that look just like them for almost $20 cheaper. So now the question is do I go with the more expensive Teflone coated H&Rs or the cheaper, grease fitted poly's?

The H&R bushings are supposed to be install and forget, no maintenance for life. I chose H&R over other sway bars for just this reason. Some other brands say they have fittings that make it easy to regrease, but I didn't want to bother with it at all, ever. An extra $10 or $20 is not a lot to spend.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Thanks.
