Default Control arm replacment for lowered applications

My OEM upper control arm bushings continue to fail prematurely on my Accord. I now run Ingalls upper control arm/camber kit combo. The control arm bushings still continue to fail because of the extreme angle I'm riding at. I've researched SPC, Megan Racing, and a few others, but can't find an aftermarket upper control arm made to resist this bushing failure.

I'm sick of hearing the constant squeaking at low speeds. Plus, I can't perform a proper alignment.

Any suggestions?

My biggest problem right now is finding ES upper control arm bushings for the for my CD4 accord

I bought the kit for my year and model, and most of the parts fit with the exception of the upper control arm bushings...

Why would honda bother shipping mine with different parts to what was sold in the US?

Also, I want to go ES poly on the rear suspension but they don't sell a kit for the accord.. . Plus, I don't want an ES trailing arm bushing, was looking for OEM but I can't seem to find it anywhere without the entire arm..

I once had a poly kit for the rear of a 5th gen Accord. But didn't want to spend the time to install it. They do make them, just gotta keep searching.

Muffinman, ES offers a lot in that link, but I still don't see what I'm looking for. Upper control arm bushings.

When you install your bushings, do you let the car sit at normal ride height when you tighten the bolts?
