Here are some very nice looking suspension parts for Honda/Acura track cars with either uprated hard bushes, and of more interest to me, sphercial bushings (pillow ball). I was wondering if anyone had ever used these and if anyone knows if thay are being imported?

Just add up the price of a full set of Mugen suspension bushings, plus the hassle/labour of putting them all in (I know because I just did a full Mugen bushing install, and it was considerably more trouble than I first imagined, as I did some on my on, had some old sockets machined for others to use in a press, and paid to have others done), and these prices are not that insane. Plus these are not rubber bushings, they are spherical bushings. Kind of like a full Formula car rod-end suspension for a Honda. There has been talk of several race car ITR's using spherical bushings,and I would have thought that just buying something pre-made/pre-engineered would be cheaper than building your own. Then again no one is going to claim that $1,490.45 is cheap for bushings.

Are there any other similar parts?

yes, it is a lot, BUT:

that price includes all the arms, so you can have whatever is in your car as spares. works for me.

It'd be nicer if some of them were offset.
