Yeah, factory end links. On the '17, rear toe wound up at -2.7 to -2.9, pretty much where I would want to set it for street track anyway. See where the '23 winds up soon enough, honestly as long rear camber lands between -2 to -3.5 and within 0.5 L/R I'm not worrying about it. Front camber is a lot more important anyway.

I see you're using a 2023 so your car is basically new mine not so much lol. Adding new control arms and toe links also help to freshen up the suspension. Hard to say how much effect that has but I have to assume replacing a near 10 year old bushing with a rose joint is going to do SOMETHING lol
Bushings can last a LONG time. Factory bushings were fine in my '17 after 5+ years, 82k miles and maybe 48 track days. Won multiple time trial championships with all factory arms and toe links. It's not like the factory bushings are super-compliant, IMO they do a good job.
