Default Front LCA bushing going bad - best stock replacement?

Got an 01 Civic, completely stock just a daily commuter car that will never be modded. The LCA bushings are drying out and cracking and are pretty worn on the front portion of them on both sides. Need a good stock replacement that will not add noise or any ill side effects and that will last. Car does not see abuse. The stock replacements from the dealer are like 150-250 dollars a piece which is why I'm asking you guys since I'm sure you know much more than I. Thanks for the help guys.

i got the Energy Suspension brand LCA bushings because they were a) cheaper than stock, b) dont have any holes in them to begin with, it's a solid poly bushing and c) since they don't absorb oil or water, they wont dry out and degrade like the stock ones.

Nick, I found the site and the parts but I'm not sure if we're talking about the same piece. When you remove the wheel, this is the black donut shaped bushing that has a rod-kinda thing going through it (don't laugh, don't know what that part is). This is the bottom piece of the strut and is at the foward section of the wheel well.

skip, I looked on Energy Suspension's website and I see control arm bushings but no LCA bushings.

Thanks for the help thus far, guys.
