Hotchkis Sway Bar Heavy Duty Bushing Brackets

Has anyone used the upgrade Hotchkis Heavy Duty Billet Sway Bar Bushing Brackets?

The dealer who installed the sway bars over the winter recenly inspected the setup and recommended they be upgraded to a stronger support.

They are nice, but not really necessary.
Ive had Hotchkis for the last 16K miles.

Heavy duty brackets are mainly for sway bars with rubber/neoprene bushings, as the friction/binding is part of the design.

Hotchkis and others use urethane bushings and must be lubed with a teflon based material, the forces on the brackets are minimal, as there is no friction involved.

Anyone know if the heavy duty hotchkis swaybar bracket will interfere with the zSpeed aluminum engine under-shroud?
