Default Upper Control Arm Bushings Problem

Alright, I have a 2000 Honda Civic SI and the bushings on both of my upper control arms (front) need to be replaced. Here's the problem: the control arms are aftermarket and I have no idea what brand they are. When I took it to the shop they told me I have two options: Find out what brand they are so I can buy the coordinating bushings or buy new upper control arms. I would prefer to save money and buy just the aftermarket bushings but I dont know how to find out the brand of the control arms as they are not labeled or anything. Any advice?

Post a picture of the control arms... it is possible that they're the chinese skunk2 knock-offs and than skunk2 bushings may work.

Grab a dial caliper/micrometer/ruler and take the measurements. I have a set of Blox upper control arms and I hav my stock arms also and I measured them and they are the same (measure the metal sleeve). So if needed I could use Blox bushings, OEM bushings, or aftermarket Energy poly bushings.
