Default trailing arm bushings

got some rear disks and the bushings are shot, should i get oem ones or get an energy suspension set? keep in mind the ES ones are less than 1/2 the price.

I have found that the easiest thing to do, unless you want to take both arms to a machine shop.

i just burned mine out and replaced them with the ES, took about an hour and 1/2 start to finish. noticed a big difference, considering mine were completely broken off

^^No, that would be more of a pain in the ass. The trail arm bushing in your car I would bet are not good, and they don't have the longest life anyway. Here just buy these
Energy Suspension 16-7106R - Energy Suspension Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Sets - summitracing.com

Just make sure that is the car you have.
