Control arm rebuild

My Boxster has what I think are the original control arms, so I'd like to do a refresh of the control arms. Since I track the car quite a bit, I was considering just rebuilding the stock control arms with the Powerflex urethane bushings. The issue I have is I can't seem to find ball joint replacements for the coffin arms (rear toe arms?). I'm planning on getting coilovers soon, probably the KSport Kontrol Pro, and they include camber plates, so I won't need GT3 control arms.

Can one press out and replace the ball joints on the coffin arms? Who sells the ball joints?

The steering tie rods seem fine, no play or wear. Should I redo them anyways?

Maybe this has been discussed before...
