sorry if this has been asked/answered but I cannot find a "search" feature

 

I have some older Spec Miata Bilstein shocks. 

 

Front F4-B46-1488-H1 and Rear F4-B46-1489-HO. 

 

I need new bushings for the lower eyelet mountings. 

 

Does anyone know where to buy these?

Really, thanks

 

any idea how to search for that?  or do you have a part number?

 

Summit wants year/make/model to search that isn't really relevant

 

and they say the part number of the shock itself is not available

As weird as it sounds, I don't like to change. they will be beat back flat shortly and while getting beat flat.. your ride height changes as it settles. A few track events later and your bushing will likely look the same way

I use a spherical bearing -- then cut 1/4 inch off each side of the replacement bushing when bolted up it looks the same and ride height stays put :)
