Before Daizen came out with this bushing kit, the only way to get new bushings was to buy new upper and lower control arms, which current market price is around $1150, plus the labor to put them in.
Exact quoted to remove upper & lower arms, press out old and press in 8 new bushings, then re-install the 4 upper & lower arms for $500 labor.
I'll estimate that's about 8-10 hours labor time for most people to DIY at home.
I do almost all the work on my GS that I've been modding for 10 years, but I find no joy doing this particular job, so personally, I'd rather pay to have it done.
If you prefer to do it yourself or can find someone to help you, more power to ya.

I do all my own work on my cars but certain labor jobs are just not worth it for me to try and fiddle with.
Frankly anyone that is offering to do it for less money I'd be worried letting them work on an integral safety part on my vehicles. Don't be cheap.
