Stock sway bar/Improved bushings?

I'm finishing up installing polybronze bushings and 930 brakes on my '86 Targa. Noticed the original sway bar bushings are kinda tired, especially the ones on each front control arm. I looked for stiffer replacements from Weltmeister and with our host but only found replacements for the swaybar to body mounts. I need the ones outboard at each control arm for a stock diameter bar. Anybody know where these might be located?

I'm guessing but I dont think harder bushings on that end would be any good. I think the deflection is needed for the up-and-down movement of the control arms.

The 4 bushings that secure a front under-body bar are all identical. So if they fit the body mounts, they should fit the control arm mounts too.

You may want to stay with the factory rubber bits though. The polyurethane ones can squeak.
