Question cheaper bushings

I've got bad rear control link and front upper control arm bushings. I've got to replace them but the Mazda parts...$$$ ouch! It seems so expensive for bits of rubber. Is there a cheaper better alternative? Help!

Also, I have a 93 R1 model. Shouldn't my bushings be Urethane? Mazda only has the rubber ones!

I've got a complete set of
Jim Labreck's unobtainium bushings
that I know I'll never get around to
installing.
Trouble is, I missed out on the
group buy so I paid more.
I'd be happy to break even

bushy bushings

They are actually spearical bearings and one of the reasons the car feels/handles so good. The lifetime is about 80k mi and they are about $100ea. In hte process of replacing mine.
