Which bushings are these replacing? The Daizen control arm kit consists of 8 bushings, so changing only 2 of the bushings is no guarantee that the "shakes" will go away 100%. Six of them look like the same size bushing, so if you can order six, plus the larger pair that would be great.

Yup: 2 bushings for $100 vs. 8 bushings for $115

And as I mentioned above, the non-Daizen parts available are not a complete kit. I can just imagine noobs getting replacing only 2 of the 8 bushings thinking they have what they need, then we'll see posts about "I've changed bushings but still got the shakes, what else?" then people will say, change ball joints, road force-balance rims, yada, yada, spend more time and money fixing things that may not be causing the problem and then at some point it will be like "Oh, you only changed 2 bushings?, you should of replaced all the bushings" = FAIL.
