Anyone sell this front control arm bushing?

I am redoing the bushing in the front control arms, whiteline sells the balljoin/tierods, also the control arm bushings. However I cant seem to find a company that sell the other control arm bushing.(part circled)

SCCA rules state that you cannot replace the oem bushing with ones that have more metal ( i shouldve posted both the perrin part and the fact that i can't use them)

Energy Suspension bushings can be purchased as a kit, as well as individual sets of bushings. I believe part number for your needs is 5.3133. It may include two more bushings than you need, but it is still worth it taking account of the price.

As well, be aware that OEM bushing there is in fact ball-joint covered with rubber.

I had bought the Energy suspension bushing kit, and I do not like the design of that particular bushing. If you look at the factory design, it allows for movement, whereas the Energy suspension bushing is a solid bushing that does not allow for a lot, if any, movement of the control arm. If you can't use the Perrin, I'd stick with OEM, unless you can find a poly replacement bushing with an embedded spherical bearing.
