I know if you buy them from prothane or energy suspension they run about $25 for a pair. Installing them is a pain. I used a snap off razor blade and torch to heat up the rubber.

I would use urethane bushings myself,they are a bit of a pain but if you go to a dollar store or other cheap store and get a set of cheap steak knives you can heat the knives up with a blow torch and cut the old bushings out.

id stick with oem...especially on the trailing arms....with ES bushings, they will oval out and you'll hve to replace them again after a year or 2 depending on driving style...

And in doing so would be a mistake there are plenty of write ups to agree that it is a mistake I suggest you read one.

Ive had both. New trailing arm bushing from honda and the energy suspetion bushing. If your car is lowered with eather springs/struts or a 1 piece suspention. I would recommend going with the energy, like the other guys stated here there a little bit of a pain in the butt, but the overall outcome if worth it. And I noticed it rides much better.

I have a FULL energy suspension in my car and car handles 100% better
