Low profile sway bar bolts?

I just got my Endura-Tech coilovers in the mail yesterday and plan on installing them today however what I am not reading is that I am going to need low profile sway bar bolts in order to use the Progress rsb I ordered yesterday.

Does anyone know exactly what I need or where I can get them?

this place has them Panducky Motorsports

i'm not sure if you're going to need this hardware kit to work with your coilovers though, i slightly remember someone saying it works fine with the original sway bar's hardware, but i can't say for certain. hopefully someone else can chime in before you buy a hardware kit that you may not actually need.

yeah i was told that if i didn't buy the panducky hardware kit it would rub against my eibach springs

not sure about you but it's good for peace of mind.
i think they are only 8 bucks @ panducky

i'm sure the stock bolts work perfectly fine but the panducky kit was made to eliminate noise between rsb bolts and spring.

Thanks all, I ended up ordering them as security. No rush though. Enkei sent me the wrong bolt pattern rpf1 so I dont have any wheels yet, and no way am i going to get an allignment twice. Time to find something else I like, out of 16/7 +35 I knew this build was going too smoothly

Have seen a few people talk about the stock sway bar, was that only on 07s? Or is the stock sway in a different spot than where the Progress bar goes? My 08 does not look like it has a sway back there. Just curious.

neither the 07 or 08 fits are equipped with a stock rear sway bar. The rear suspension design does act like a rear sway bar itself, but there is no rear sway bar from the factory.

why would you need to get an alignment twice? am i mistaken: you will have springs, a rear sway bar, and new wheels? you will only need an alignment after putting in your springs (if you haven't already). the rear sway bar will not affect your alignment, even though it involves removing the rear springs, because the stock rear suspension's alignment is not adjustable.
