Default Trailing arm broke

today i was driving along and pulled into the parking lot where i was going and my trailing arm broke where it connects to the control arm so i need a new one the only problem is that my mechanic tells me that there are only oem ones available so ive decided i want to do a disc brake conversion but cant find a good one can somebody find me a conversion thats less than $400? otherwise im gunna just fork out the $250 for the oem trailing arm

I got my trailing arms with disc brakes on ebay for about $250 including shipping. Came with lower control arms, toe adjustment arm and overall looked real good, no rust.

I haven't installed it yet, paying off the bills(soon this won't be a problem ), but I'm going to get them installed with new brembo drilled rotors and new trailing arm bushings.
