Default Control Arm Bushings.. (ignorance)

Ok, I have seen the Defcons everyone is speaking of. And I believe Steve, you said you actually have some to ship... Question is, there are two sets of bushings correct? Are there stronger replacements for those as well?

I am ignorant here, as I don't know a lot about the setups in the front end... I was just talking to the dealer about it today and they told me I had to purchase 2 sets of bushings for either side...

Doesn't say anything about two bushings on either side in the front...
