Default spherical bearings for upper control arm on a ef

I have been looking for stiffer upper control arm bushings for my crx. I have the full race radius rod setup and progress spherical bearings for the lca. I was looking for something stiffer for the upper control arm. Doesnt have to be spherical, but I would like something stiffer than energy suspension bushings. I am using them for the shock bushing, but since this is mainly a drag race vehicle I am trying to keep the deflection to a minimum..

Does Hardrace offer them for an EF?

If not you can always try something like Delrin and lathe your own bushings.

I just recently did a set for my car out of derlin. Haven't gotten to drive it yet but I can tell you that with just the inside bolt through the lower control arm and no traction bar at all you can't move the arm front to back. Always a great option if you have the means to do it.
