Fsb Energy Suspension ???

I ordered the energy suspension bushings from Courtesy for my front stabalizer bar and have a question: The bushings I got for the bar link are a lot different looking. The stock ones are approximately 1 1/2 inches round and pretty flat - in comparison, the Energy bushings are about 1 inch round and considerably taller. Is this normal? I did a search but didn't find anything relative and maximadriver doesn't have this in their how2. Any help is appreciated.

Damn!! Thanks for the response. I'll investigate further w/ Courtesy. I called earlier but the guy wasn't much help. I'll try again.

Could just be that the ones on your car are all squashed out. As you tighten the new bushings up there going to bulge a little bit.

car feels a little bit tighter, nothing so dramatic but the parts were only $40 so it doesn't bother me

Make sure they didn't send you the control arm bushings by mistake.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I am on the line w/ Courtesy now. I think I have the wrong bushings. I can't wait to get this resolved so I can see if tightens up my front end some. Thanks again.
