The two different colors are essentially the same at a formula level. Some black components are graphite impregnated as a self-lubricating agent, but overall they are the same part. Graphite is not added to the red formula simply because it changes the color of the bushing.
Bushing hardness by color?
The Durometer (or hardness) of red and black bushings are the same for that position. The different colors do not indicate a higher or lower durometer.
Why buy red bushings?
Red or black bushings is almost entirely an aesthetic choice, there is no real functional difference between the two. Some who drive their vehicles especially hard (track, rally, etc.) sometimes use red bushings because it is easier to see any damage that the bushing might have suffered from extreme conditions.
Are there other bushing colors?
Energy Suspension used to have Yellow and Blue options but they stopped producing components in these colors a long time ago and they are no longer available on the market.

There are a number of different size
sway bars in this vehicle.
The ONLY way to ensure you're buying the
correct size bushings for your car is to actually physically measure the
sway bar. The is most commonly done one of two ways.
- 1 - Wrench method. This is quite simple - just take a
set of wrenches and see which one fits over the bar correctly. For example
- if a 18mm wrench fits perfectly over your sway bar - then you have an
18mm sway bar! Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to us this method
as there are at times mid-sizes like 23.5mm etc. See below if you fall into
this category.
- 2 - Crescent Wrench Method. Just a little more
complex than the wrench method. Simply tighten down your adjustable
crescent wrench down over your sway bar. When it's tight - slip the wrench
off and measure between the ends of the prongs. The distance between these
is the size of your sway bar.
Buying the correct size bushings is VITAL to ensuring optimum
performance from your sway bar. Bushings that are too large will not
properly grip and support the sway bar. Likewise bushings that are too
small may simply not fit over the bar and make installation
impossible.
