Does anyone know where i can get rear control arm bushings?

I am doing a suspension overhaul (Shocks, springs, mounts, etc) on my FC, and I see front control arms and bushings readily available on many sites.

Any idea where i can get the rear control arm setup or replacement bushings for it? (i know that the DTSS bushings are impossible to find).

I am hoping to do rubber bushings, since i want to daily the car, rather than race it with Poly bushings. Everything i hear about poly bushings tells me it'll make my teeth chatter, in return for a slight improvement in responsiveness. (if this is wrong, i'm open to suggestions!)

Which bushings are you referring to?

The DTSS bushings are only available with the hub. Atkins has the hubs (https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/8...01-49-140.html) and (https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/8...1-49-130-.html), but you can probably find them for cheaper by Googling the p/n.

The rear lower trailing arm bushing is https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/8...01-28-460.html. You will need two of these bushing per side.

The rear lower trailing arm upper bushing is https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/8...01-26-220.html. You will need one of these bushing per side.

The rear lower trailing arm spherical bearing is https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/8...01-26-230.html. You will need one of these bearings per side. Also, required is two rubber seals per bearing, but they are NLA from Mazda.

You will probably need the rear arm control links too https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/8...01-28-210.html. You will one of these per side.

Like I mentioned earlier, you can probably find these for cheaper by Googling the p/n's.

You might want to try Tascaparts.com (https://www.tascaparts.com/). They're located up in you neck of the woods (CT). I buy from them all the time. They offer very fair prices.
