Does anybody know of a source for stock rubber bushings for the Watts link and upper and lower trailing links for a 1st gen RX-7? Mazdaspeed and 3 local dealers have all told me that I need to buy new, assembled links. It seems to me that somewhere during the manufacturing process, the metal parts would be manufactured in one location while the rubber parts were made somewhere else. Does anybody see a flaw in my logic? If I were able to go one additional step backwards in the manufacturing and supply side, I would be able to get the bushings. Any ideas? Did I talk to the wrong guy at Mazdaspeed?

This is Spec7 so Tri-Link, urethane, etc is not an option. And upgrading to go IT isn't in the budget either unless I give up a year's worth of seat time

Any help is appreciated.
