Besides the obvious place (a dealer), you can try one of the Vendors here...

If your car is stock I would just put another crap OEM one in. If you want to upgrade look at whiteline or SPL

SPL will produce loud noise going over small bumps like lane dots. But they are the best CR bushings

The SPL bushes make a noticeable difference. They have greater ability to drive in Caster and as such your turning ability will be improved, as well as they'll last hell lot longer than oem. I also went for SPL ARB bushes which are very cheap and help with keeping the car flatter in corners.

The price might seem expensive but when you compare it to say coilovers the price isn't that bad. Not saying it replaces coilies, but def improves contact with the road. The Z should have been fitted with these as STANDARD!

both are polyurethane so im pretty sure they will outlast a brand new oem rubber one by a good amount. all my bushings in the front are energy or whiteline and i love it. im about to get the energy set for the rear now

If you dont care about performance and you are not lowered, and want to go the cheap route just buy another OEM one. If you want something better look at Whiteline. If you want to stunt hard buy the SPL.
