dont change the rear trailing arms for eurethane ones....everything i read says they suck balls....but you can brand new OEM ones for $25 each....lmk if you need the part number because there are 3 differant ones and they all have differant prices.

it appears your right:

Includes: front and rear control arm bushings, front and rear shock bushings, front end links, steering rack bushings, transmission shifter stabilizer bushings (manual transmission only), ball joint boots and tie rod end boots.

the master kit only comes with the front end bushings and they are not that bad to replace if you have access to a press, as for the rear I usually install complete control arms and have never had one complaint about that they suck but then again there are many arms on the market and I only use the STR or Meagan Racing so I don't know about the others.

yeah im going to probably stick some oem ones in the rear trailing arms. I just hear some clunking when braking or turning so i want to replace the rear if not all before i get an alignment. i will probably just get blox lcas. is poly for everything else ok? everyone says the ride sucks any input?

the reason why I use the Meagan Racing rear lowers is because the bushings are still firmer then stock but not hard like Blox or many of the others out there. I have had the blox control arms actually chew the bushings apart before in cars that drive in Boston because the roads are so bad there.
