DSE and Global West makes some nice ones. Im sure there are other companies that make them as well. Just a side note, because I have ran into this several times on the cars that I have built.
With worn out Body/subframe bushings, the body can tend to move to one side or another. causing tires to rub only on one fender well, this can cause several issues with tracking, etc.
When installing new bushings, be sure that the frame goes back in correctly. I know that on the first gen Camaro, there are small holes next to the body bolts in both the frame and lower fire-wall mount. You can stick bar in and line these up, also, using a point of reference from the frame and measuring it to reference point on both sides of the body, to make sure that it is square.
Hope this helps,
