Sway bar link/bushing replacement
I think I have the base suspension, what is the code for that ?
EF1 ?
On the replacement bushings what material do you prefer ?
Lastly do the large mounting bush on the sway bay slide on the
bar from the end, or do they have opening that are held closed by the bracket ?
Thanks.

FE1 is base and the bushing to the frame rail is split with the clamp (you called it bracket) holding it in place. There is a bracket between the clamp and the frame rail.
Material I believe gets discussed frequently and I doubt there's very much more involved in choosing than "tossing a coin". For a strictly performance build yes but for everyday driving there's reasons to maybe NOT to choose what's considered premium. I'll leave material alone. Stock would be preferred I believe.

I believe for the front 26mm is mentioned most frequently. That's for a '95 and for the rear and FE1 I believe 24mm is expected. If you don't have a Vernier to confirm just wrap a string around it and measure the length of the string and using that as a circumference value calculate the diameter.
22mm never for a front and on the rear maybe '92 was last year.
