i just got a H&R 19mm bar and it came as just the bar and bushings
is this normal
does this bar reuse the factory bushing supports ?

 

I thought this was odd, too, when I won one. I'm having it installed next week; I guess I'll know then if I need more hardware.

i order a set of factory supports because i did my alta bar install at a garage party and forgot to collect my stock parts

the bushings look like they fit i just want to be sure before i pull my car apart

 

Yes, just pull the factory bushings out of the fitting and press the H&R in their place. Very easy fit.
Good choice, I have had the H&R on for about a year and no noise yet.

 

Did you use grease when installing the bar? I've read that H&R has some special bushings that don't require it... I"m planning to get one soon (to replace my squeaking Alta), and am wondering whether it should be greased (just to be safe) or not... Thanks.

 

I did not grease the bushings. The directions I got said it was not necessary so I did not.

 

I think the whole point of the bushings is to not (or not have to) grease them. I'm far from an expert, however.
