Are you talking the bushings through the LCA (lower control arm) or the rubber ones mounted on the rad support? Typically you head for a U-pull with a wheelbarrow full of tools and keep undoing stuff off more modern cars until you find what you want or think you can adapt. Festy sway bars are about 15/16" in diameter and Aspires are about 1 1/16". If you split a chunk of 1 inch PVC or similar plastic pipe, or find a chunk of 1 inch ID resilient hose that might work as a usable sleeve/bushing for a sway bar.
By the way; what's the scoop on the pic feature picture of your site? Is that Hulk Hogan in the passenger seat with his head near poking through the sun roof?

When I was putting on an Aspire sway bar I just took the two best cushioned sleeves of the bunch and installed those. Festys are shorter than Aspire but are still contained well within the mounting plates. Next time around I think I'll be looking at some version of commercial hydraulic hose to make the sleeves. Can't be rocket science unless someone out there assures me (us) that these things are supposed to be downright rigid.
