Did all of you receive your orders from black friday? I made an order last week for the trans mount and I got it today, but I still don't have my big order from black friday... I completely understand that they're busy from that but it's been a month and I really needed them by now so i can work on my car with the little time I have in country.

Torch them out! especially the control arm bushings. just heat the inside sleeve then air hammer it out. 10 minutes for the control arms, just using a propane soldering torch.

Incidentally, I bet that you can be a little bit more aggressive with your ride height in the rear now that the subframe isn't walking all over the place (up/down and side-to-side).

I'm looking forward to installing my red bushings sitting as I find some time. I also put in an order for the new control arm bushings on Friday.

Here is my consensus on wheel hop... 1st gear clutch drop you will get no hop even power-shifting into second you will just lay down rubber... BUT if you do a first gear roll on you will get "some" hop, so i would say that this modification over stock for wheel hop conditions is about 85-90% improvement over stock i feel with one wh fix axle wheel hop will be non existent.

PMed! I found an issue with the shipping. We will straighten it out immediately.

We are all caught up with our black friday orders, btw. After Christmas we will be back to 24-48 hour ship out times.

Update on my order.

I order it on the 20th and got email confirmation.

I also got email confirmation that it shipped on the 21st.

(The tracking showed that it did not actually leave until the 22nd, which is typical, so take that into account. What is not typical is that the email said it was shipped on the 21st, but the package did not go out until LATE on the 22nd.)

It has shown to arrive this morning at my local USPS.

Just the facts my friends!

Shipping looked great to me.

Ill explain this a little bit. You placed the order on the 20th, we processed it and printed the shipping label (which is when you receive the tracking) on the 21st. At the end of the day, on our way home, we drop off the packages at the post office. The post office opened on the 22nd and then took control of the package. Keep in mind that it is the holidays and the postal services are very busy. It does not surprise me that your package sat at the post office until late in the day. A 24 hour ship out time is what we aim for and in your case it appears we hit the mark.

FYI--I just talked to Revshift (added a driveshaft coupler to my control arm bushing order), and they indicated that those little tubes of lube included with their bushings are unmarked tubes of Energy Suspension Formula 5 prelube (which was designed specifically for polyurethane). Apparently, they like Formula 5 better than Prothane SuperGrease.

Thanks for the explanation, but I was definitely not complaining at all!!!!!!

The shipping time seemed really good.

(Well, as long as I get a sticker!)
