The forward bushings on my rear, lower control arms are WASTED.

Unless I can get factory Ford bushings cheap (surely they're the same as any '03-'04 GT?), AND the swap is simple (no trip to a machine shop for pressing out /in), then I assume I'm going to be buying new control arms -- in which case I want stock or direct bolt-in replacements. I don't need "high performance" parts.

Ford ( $ ?, available ?) Maximum Motorsports? Steeda?

Any advice appreciated.

If you want to keep the stock rubber bushings, then a replacement factory control arm is your best option.

MM control arms--whether their sports, HD's, or extremes--have three piece poly bushings and/or heim joints in place of rubber. Since you said you don't need "high performance" parts, I do not think an aftermarket control arm is warranted.
