I went with the Neatrix brand ones from our host. Getting the old donuts off was the hardest part, so I'll be gravy for you if you're replacing the whole spring plate.

I did expect a slightly tighter fit. They weren't loose, I had to pull them into place with longer bolts. But considering how much I had to fight the "worn" ones to get them out, I was expecting an epic stuff fest. Not sure if Chuck has his made to slightly larger tolerances or not.

Neatrix bushings weren't available for SAW spring plates (check PParts). Maybe it's different now. Not sure there's a rubber bushing replacement for these spring plates.

Elephant Racing sells the bushings for sway-away spring plates. I recently inquired with them, asking if stock bushings would fit the sway-away arms and they said no but they can get the correct bushings. Chuck recommended switching to the ER spring plates as you can use threaded, quick change torsion bars. I may go that route next year when I have time and funds to switch.
