Strut bearings on Ground Controls?

Does any one know where I can buy the ground control upper spring perches with the built in greasable strut bearing? I have been talking to members and sponsors, and I cannot figure out where to buy them. I know where to get factory bearings, I don't want those, I keep breaking them. Anyone know? I have ground controls that are fitted with KYB AGX struts.

I had them and bought them straight from ground control. After that I never had to buy replacement bearings.

most probably the cause of the strut mount bearing breaking so often is the GC 's plus the AGX = very harsh ride and too much punishment for the strut mount so far and by my own experience oems are the best strut mounts the KYB,Gabriel,AC delco aren't worth a crap

Thanks for the advice but I don't need a mount. I am looking for the upper spring perches that have the bearing built in. I keep breaking bearings...not mounts. Just to note, the ride is not very harsh with this set up. I think ground controls get a bad wrap here, I know my self and some other people are very happy with the ride and performance.
