Lower control arm replacement bushings?

hi guys, i've browsed and was unable to find any bushings for our cars. i know that we can use some universal sway bar bushings from energy suspension. but have anyone tried EVO 8 lower control arm bushings on our lower control arms? or are there any companies that makes it other than OEM? i am at the edge of machining some polyurethane for my lower control arms. but i wanna double check before i start. thanks a lot guys.

there are ZERO bushings for the ralliart... I know because I spent a week looking around and measuring... the only bushing that you'll be able to replace are the front lower control arm and the rear trailing arm.. for a total of 6 bushing for the whole car.. there are a total of 18 bushings and they are all the metal pillowball type, so when they are shot, there's no poly to replace them unless you press out the worn one and measure the fitment. It's not really worth it in my opinion because it doesn't have the full free range of motion that a pillow ball would have.

but the bushings that are replacable.. they are pretty sturdy already so I wouldn't bother changing them.. not really worth the effort or money.
