lower it without putting on a camber kit? i made my own with o-rings and heater hose....so far its held up 2 years and cost about 3 bucks refer to this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39755
no i have camber kit on all 4 wheels. Perfect alignment and everything. Just started making a thump one day and i looked at it today and its ####ed.
 
if you can find aftermarket bushings, go for it..i couldnt find any unless it was a kit with a whole bunch of them for various parts of the car....you cant get OEM unless you buy the whole knuckle, thats like $200 or more...so basically what i did what take the little rod out and got all the old rubber off with a razor blade and some FIRE....then i glued heater hose to it....then on the ends of the rod i put about 4 o-rings starting with the smaller and getting bigger ones to fit around the previous one so basically is was one big flat o-ring...so far it has worked and its not clunking anymore...i did that about 2 years ago...good luck
 
That bushing is available from Prothane, but not (afik) from ES.
I don't know whether you can get the bushing individually, the
complete kit is about $200, so a new upright is far cheaper. I
think I paid ~$120 from Conicelli.

You can also Band-Aid it by making plastic spacers to take up the
gap between the upright and the A-arm, and other similar p[tions.

You can not buy them individually, believe me I tried to source one forever. I ended up buying the Energy Suspension rear control arm kit for like $60 from MrMoo at MachV.
