Where can I get (and who makes) the orange control arm bushings pictured in this pic?
I've looked around a little and I see OE replacement, Weltmeister(sp) rubber replacement and solid($$). TIA

Those are Weltmeister bushings. www.paragon-parts.com has them in stock.
Important tip: When installing them in your a-arms, you need to remember to remove the outer metal sleeve that is part of the stock bushing. You'll understand what I mean when you start to do this upgrade.

I found them on Paragon's website and theye appear to be the ones in the picture. BUT, they may not be what I'm looking for. My car primarily used for track events, and the product description says: "They are made for street replacement only and not recommended for autocross or track competition."
Are there any other options for track use short of spending the $$ for Racers Edge?

The red bushings look like 'Energy Suspension' polyurethane bushings, try this site:

FYI . I put these buishings in my car. They are very unforgiving. Anytime you hit a pot hole or joint in the road will deflect the car. If you use the car for the track they should be great. For street use they are pretty harsh. Hope this helps.
