Default Replace upper ball joints without replacing the whole A-arm

I'm trying to replace my 13 year old ball joints. Not interested in buying entire A-arms from Honda. I would like to get OEM quality but I haven't been able to cross reference any OEM parts for the front/rear upper ball joints. I know you can use 97 Accord front lower ball joints for our rear lower ball joints. Is there anything like that for the upper ball joints? I found these on eBay but I am leery of using them on a car I drive on the track frequently.

i have had good success with "nascar" branded ball joints in my 2000 Civic SiR which i autoslalomed regularly. I typically will replace those critical components with the most expensive i can find- cost usually translates into quality.

good luck
