Most people stay stock for most bushings except for motor mounts, trailing arms and differential bushings, where there are several aftermarket choices. Toe links are often replaced with aftermarket too.

Entire bushing kits are also available (search for 'Jimlab'). Mazdaspeed also make a complete kit.

A lot of options, a lot of opinions. No clear winner. I use stock bushings.

Remember, pillowballs are not the same as bushings. The non-OEM options are pretty hard to find, so most folks replace with oem pillowballs.
