Disclosure: I have Eibach sway bars front and rear, but front sway bars are the same 27mm size as stock sway bars. The difference between OEM and Eibach front sway bars is that Eibach sway bars are solid and OEM sway bars are hollow.I got this to replace my worn 27mm sway bar bushings on my 6th Gen Accord (1998 - 2002, mine is 2000). I got these ones over OEM ones because I liked the fact that they're greasable; no need to remove the sway bar to re-grease at a later point in time. Well, I went on to Energy Suspension's website to see what would fit my 27mm sway bar, and their chart listed these 1-1/16 bushing as the correct ones. They came in and everything seemed fine. I went to install them, and they didn't fit properly!The big thing on these is that even though they're supposed to be "Universal" not all cars are built the same. Apparently the 6th Gen Accord has a lip of some sort where the bracket installs to making these ES brackets useless unless you cut off part of the bracket like I did. This is not ES's fault, but it's still something that I had to do to make the bracket work for my application. Next, the slit doesn't meet up with itself once it's over a the 27mm bar, and that makes for obviously poor contact area. Because of the poor contact area, the filler hole doesn't line up properly and grease gets over the bracket and bushing instead of going into the bushing towards the sway bar.I installed a rear set of these (23mm, ) and install on those went smooth and without issue. Everything lined up right the first time and everything was greased up properly. Installing these things isn't rocket science or supposed to be time consuming, but when you have to make severe modifications to try and make them work only to find out that they're not going to work anyways is a real PITA. Now I have to spend more time doing some research and finding out what will actually work with my 27mm sway bars.TL;DR, These are not direct swap for 6th Gen Accord. Bracket needs to be cut up some to make bracket fit and installation will still be crap and not fit right.

Work great, slightly noticeable increase in handling. Be sure to install while parked on a level surface or it can be very difficult to re-install the new sway bar bushings.

The Good: Zerk fittings allow you to grease the polyurethane bushings. Easy installThe Bad: Brackets are thinner/less rigid than Toyota factory onesThe Lowdown: Easy install/swap on my 2002 Toyota Tacoma. I like the greasable feature (zerk fittings) these brackets offer, but just from the looks of it, they don't appear to be as strong/rigid as the factory ones.After driving 110 miles yesterday, I did notice an improvement in handling. Not surprising, since the polyurethane bushings are stiffer than the rubber OEM ones. Steering is slightly more responsive, with less sway. Brackets appear to be holding up so far, but time will tell. I'm saving the factory brackets, just in case though.Overall, a worthwhile investment at a reasonable price.Update:12/04/14300 + miles, so far so good. While doing 65mph on the fwy over the wkend, another vehicle had drifted into my lane, causing me to swerve hard to the left to avoid contact. Truck handled very well. After the hard swerve, I thought for sure the brackets would be affected, but I was wrong. Brackets are still good to go.

I purchased these to replace the badly worn swaybar bushings on my 2005 Chevy Colorado LS Z85. They fit in place of the OEM bushings, without modification of the frame or bracket, and were easy to grease due to the zerk fittings.
