Default Swapping over rear drum brakes to disc on 88 crx

I am in the begining stage of changing over the rear brakes of my crx. I have a question concerning the bushings for the upper control arm, compensator arm and trailing arm. What is the best for the installation?? (factor OEM or polyurethane)
I am not interested in track or street racing the car, just want to have a great time driving the car around the curves.

use the oem rubber for most of the bushings if your not to concerned with the better handling factor. I would use the polyurethane ones though for the trailing arms.

OEM Works best. Just did this swap on my car and I am local. Hit me up if you wanna check it out. There's a post in my thread in my signature. It's got part numbers of what you need too.

Okay got the bushing item straightened out. Now, for another question; should the master brake cylinder be changed out along with the brake proportional valve???????
