Default rear control arms

my bushings for my rear control arms are bad, and i know the stock arms are not tubular and not very stiff. I was wondering if this set of rear control arms would be worth it? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS
they are not the best, but when a set of polyurethane bushing is about $70 and these have to be better than stock arms. also they are sold by 5.0 resto, which I have heard is a good company.

any info on this would be appreciated. also any suggestions on whatnew arms to useif those are junk would be helpful. thanks.
