Think of it as the bushings being welded in.

I will also reiterate this, having solid sub-frame bushings will NOT degrade ride quality. This is what happens with solid driveline bushings (motor, transmission, differential).
Malek is correct. The bushings are literally welded onto the subframe of the CRT and GTS, so they cannot be purchased separately. This is the same subframe and bushing combination used on the GT4, which costs about $2,200.
