Default 12yo school bus....

So today I wanted to find out why my car was handling like a bus......and I found it. The upper control arm bushings are all broken, both sides all 4. I was wondering if anyone on here has orderd the control arm kit from 034 or if they have a better place they know of because that is the only place I have found that has a "kit" so to say..........

yeah.. i put these in about 3 weeks ago.. so far not a single problem, and they looked like the same quality if not better than the OEM...

do broken control arm bushings really make that big of a difference in handling? mine have been broken forever and i never really *noticed* any difference. possibly because it was gradual.
