A company over here in the UK called polybush. They do the full kits for AP1 and AP2. I have since realized it may be a good idea to splash out and go for a spherical type on the compliance bush. I say this as when installed it did limit the arms movement dramatically due to stiffness...
I think I'll eventually get a hard race sperical bush there. This will be fine for now.

Cool, thanks very much for the info. I had no idea there was another source.
I installed all available Powerflex bushings in my car last summer. The only exception were the lower coilover mounts (nothing available at the time, left the stock ones on there) and the lower rear bushing on the front lower control arm. After a little while, I noticed low speed clicking noises. Upon inspection, it looked like the Powerflex front lower bushing (on the front lower control arm) had worked itself out of place. I emailed Powerflex USA with photos and they advised to remove, re-lube and replace. Doing so would mean another alignment (another $130-150), so I splashed and bought Mugen pieces instead. So now my front lower control arm is going to be all Mugen, with everything else Powerflex.
I was working on the car a few weekends ago and noticed that one of the rear lower coilover mounts were starting to crack, so I acquired Mugen bushings for those too. I didn't realize they were available until recently. I would have investigated other poly sources, but alas, the parts are already purchased...
