Not sure about a complete kit, but Energy Suspension does carry a universal Front polyurethane sway bar bushing set that works on the Fit. I verified the dimensions while I had the stock ones off.
Its a easy, straight swap of the oem soft rubber bushing and bracket with these.
It does makes a noticeable handling difference since there is less flex with the polyurethane.

p/n# 9.5126 Hyperflex Performance Polyurethane Sway Bar Bushing, 22MM

You sure the fit has a 21mm front sway? I was positive that it was a 22mm front bar.

Honda's site says 22mm.

On the install use a 12mm (or was it 14mm?) deep socket and one of those tilting-head type socket wrenches. Makes the job a whole lot easier reaching and loosening the bolts in tight spaces. On the driver side you will need to remove a plastic cover with 4 retainer clips.

Yeah, it's 90F with 75% humidity.... I'm not doing anything outside. I'll put the bushings on when I do the mugen suspension install.
