Default CPT rear control arms... parts questions

Spoke with CPT today about getting one of their rear control arm kits and they said I need to get new bottom rear control arm bushings (cost around $19.50 a piece) and a bolt kit, since it needs a longer bolt. He said he could sell it to me, but I was wondering if I can get the parts cheaper, or if they are even needed. He didn't really sound like he was up selling- told me the parts are normal dealer part, he can sell them to me, or I can go to the dealer.

I was wondering if anyone could get me part numbers and confirm what exactly is all needed.

Parts sold w/prices
-CPT Rear Control Arms- $299.95 (with Zinc coated ends- Stainless steel for $75 more)
-Bolt kit- $20.00
-Lower bushings- $19.50 a piece

Told me to move my KMAC kit up on top to give me toe adjustment, and use these for camber adjustment. Was told my lower arms didn't use bushings- used something else that had a tendency to seize up. Correct or not?

He is correct. His prices are comparable to the dealer (at least they were for me a year ago)

Is there a similar tool for Autozone to rent? Or an easy way to remove?

Easy? No. A ball joint/u-joint tool set worked for mine.
