Alright, I checked with another place I found online that seems to be more willing to work with end users. (www.americancollars.com 1-800-545-7301) The aluminum ones should be about $2 each. The stainless steel are $4. It seems aluminum is the way to go.

The part numbers:
7/8" ASP-087-2-AL
1 1/8" ASP-112-2-AL

I don't think we have a large enough volume to get any sort of discount so I don't think it pays to try a do a group buy. There's also no minimum charge. It's probably best to just call up and order what you need.

Hans, I'm not sure if they'll ship internationally. I'd imagine they would, but if they don't contact me and we could arrange something.

They use 1-1/8" and 7/8" bars which would correspond to a 28.6mm and 22.2mm metric size.

Ken, no luck. They don't do international business due to excessive bank charges. No paypal there. Any suggestions? H.

Ok I received my clamps and installed them on the rear sway bar. I do not hear the clunk noise going slowly into driveways anymore but I still hear a slight clunk on a tight turn with a big dip in the middle. The rear also feels tighter with no other change except the clamps.

I guess I have to wait until I get the front bar mounted but the front almost feels like the tires are rolling over even though I have them at 36 PSI cold. Hopefully the front bar will correct this.
