Default Spherical shock bushing

I need help sourcing a spherical type bushing for the rear control arm shock mount. Pfadt had these on the shelf back when... but what about LG, DR, do they make these?

This is what I need.

DRM might have a spherical. Alternatives are poly and Vansteel might have a delrin piece.

I have poly now but the reason I am interested in this spherical type bushing is it might allow for the top of the coilover to move forward gaining clearance between the spring and tie rod. I have a c6 cradle because of the tr6060 swap and I had to flip the top mount because the lca moved back. I would not have had to flip if using the spherical bushing. I spoke with LG and they are going to send me an offset bracket which is what they use for all the inverted coilovers to clear and it uses the bigger bump steer tie rod. Btw I have the Bilstein G2 and had just order the gt2 thinking they would fit before I knew about the bracket. LG was very kind and said send those gt2 back and use the bracket as this setup is used in track cars.
