I used the stock bushings in mine and bought the tool from Max Motorsports. Made it a lot easier to do.

He's asking about the bushings in the rear not what control arms to use.

I've done it twice now, and the only way I could get the old rotted ones out was to drill lots of holes in the rubber then pry out the metal insert, and pry the rest out.
