compression arm bushings

my alignment guy, Darren at West end, notified me that i have bad compression arm bushings. My car has been pulling to the right so i can agree with that, although last time i checked, they looked fine.
i need suggestions on which one to go with other than SPL
I really want SPL but they cost like $170. If i just think about buying then i would go with SPL but then, i gotta think about alignment fee too. Alignment was done yesterday...
I have stance gr+, and think about how my car handles. This car will be used for drifting like once in a month or two.
Can you please give me a brand that sells these? I couldn't find any other brand that sells upgraded bushings for compression arm other than SPL. I thought Whiteline and NIsmo have them but can't find one.
thanks.

OH, one question to ask. Could bad compression arm bushings cause excess toe in/out? i smell tires burning after driving. (Alignment done yesterday)

I thought Whiteline had them too but not seeing it on their website. I know SPL is expensive but they do always get good reviews on the products. Second option might be OEM, check out Riverside Infiniti's ebay page.

After a discount on $420, the price dropped to $375. They can't just charge me that for an alignment. They only replaced the bushings and not the whole arm. The installation was around 300 which includes alingment. I duno if there's a difference between compression rod bushings and compression arm bushings, theyr the same right? Cus thats wat it says on my receipt "replace compression rod bushings."
Ur freakin me out now lol i have to go check my bushings. Can u post a pic showing me which part they are so i can go check on my G and see if they are new?
