Unfortunately, I dont carry AtomicRex stuff any more and only carry OEM pillow ***** since they're readily available. These can be purchased from my website www.j-auto.net. If there's other suspension components you're looking for, shoot me an e-mail or PM me and I'll be glad to help. I carry more than just bushings.
Thanks for the kind words. Every order I receive helps support this great forum through my vendor membership

I recently purchased replacement pillowballs through a work contact over here who sourced them for me. The kit looks identical to the pictures of what Atomic were previously selling so may well be the same original supplier.
Price may be a challenge with the exchange rate but contact Terry below if you require further information and tell him Richard from CBI gave you his details.

However, it looks like at least some of the pillowballs on these have no dust covers so are probably race-only and require frequent pillowball replacements.
Back on topic: are there any longevity reports on these AtomicRex bushings? Since they pretty much cost as much as the stock pillowballs, they don't really make any economic sense if they don't last significantly longer. Yes, the OEM pillowballs seem to last only 50k miles or so - but at least we know that number. Do we know anything about the AtomicRex bushings?

For less than the price of Nagisa's rear setup above, you can get our rear lower control arms & trailing arms kit (click here for details), toe links, 2 OEM pillow ***** w/dust seals, and polyurethane bushings (either SuperPro or Powerflex) for the rest of the car. All of these parts are readily available and in Powerflex' case, their bushings come with a lifetime warranty. Everything available at www.j-auto.net. Sorry for the shameless plug but I gotta get some use out of my vendor membership (it's not cheap)

Anyone tried eBay "Megan" pillowballs?

I've installed all Delrin bushings and I still hear a strong rear clunk...

Those are toe links and trailing arms, not to be confused with the OEM pillow ***** that go in the rear lower control arm (2 each) and the rear upper control arm (1 each) if memory serves. Replace those with OEM components.
Also, I'd recommend Rotary Extreme over those. By the time you pay for install and for an alignment, you're in pretty deep if the 'megan' ones end up failing.

410$ + shipping for 6 pillowballs, that sounds better!
Thanks Juan!

I happened to find a member selling 6 new OEM pillowballs at a deal. but if i wouldnt have found those i was going to purchase from Juan, althoughi DO have to say I did order a powerflex bushing set from him and dont remember getting free shipping...as advertised
although shipment came quick. I advise dont waste your time just get from Juan and be done with it.

Whatever you do don't buy the Megan ones.
I just put bushings in a friends S2000 and he has had Megan toe links for less than a year and they are worn out sloppy sloppy.
One end is in the wheel and the other tucked into the subframe- not really high out in the weather even.
Buy quality!

If you were to get our rear lower arm kit, you'll be left with the factory rear upper control arms which have one pillow ball on each end.
