Default OEM Bushings are $$$$$

wow not to make a worthless thread( ok maybe a little ) but has anyone priced what it would cost to replace suspension bushings with oem rubber bushings- my last count was over $450 !!! thats crazy. I was wanting a like new ride while redoing my front and rear suspension , but this maybe a little out of my budget. Does anyone find it funny that oem bushings cost almost 4x poly aftermarket bushings. Its rubber man, Rubber!

OEM is OEM. which is properly designed for your car.

ES poly may be cheap, and may fit, but i doubt the claim of longevity and endurance.

plus, i see many products out there that ppl will spend money on that can be replaced cheaper with good, new OEM parts. (ie. colored LCA, slotted rotors...)
