Default EK lower control arm bushings, blown out?

After my track event this weekend I noticed something weird with my rear suspension. I look at my rear control arms and on my driver side the bushing where the shock bolts up is blown out? There is a gap all the way around the hole for the bushing. Is this common? can I upgrade these to urethane? Do the SRR control arms have stiffer bushings in them?
