I have since replaced with M4 lower control arms and tension struts, also upgraded to Dinan springs w/comfort kit.. my car feels Fan Fuk'n Tastic! (This upgrade probably isn't for the timid - probably gonna kill tires)
Now a did change a lot, including toe (alignment).. but the only parts that actually look like they need replaced are the bushings. So I stand by my original post with one correction. I said lower control arm where I should have said tension strut, my lower control arm bushings were probably fine, my tension strut bushings are again the one shown in this picture and were done at 33kmiles.

Compare those to this set which had 10k miles according to the post below, yours look terrible!
