As far as I know they JUST posted them to the site (like in the last 12hrs) sO I don't think you'll have any driving impressions thus far.

How do you get the old bushings out and the new bushings in? Do you need to press them out? It looks like the new ones are 2 piece so it should not be that bad going back in.

I saw that they are claiming that these eliminate wheel hop. I hope they do, but given how nothing seems to be able to eliminate it in the V1, I’m not holding my breath.

Group Buy is a no-go. Already tried. Best bet is to wait for a sale if you want a discount.

I only have Internet on my phone, and that's a hassle. If you want to pm me a Phone #, l'll text em to you. I've already received the driveshaft.

Haha, well guess I was jumping the gun! Good stuff, I like revshift, I'm running their motor mounts and trans mount. Looks like they are giving creative steel a run for their money! Can't wait to hear some feedback on how these work and how the install goes, I'm def in but not ready to be the first one on board!

Love Revshift prices the best!

I'm not trying to be a dick, but I cannot hold my tongue (or in this particular case fingers). But seriously? Did you even read through the thread? These were released to the public and put online last night. So if you had the install details, you would be revshift.

install looks like a two piece bushing that you may not have to press in. You may be able to use washers and a bolt to tighten it up and press them in that way. However I believe you will need to use a press to get the stock bushings out. Someone feel free to chime in as I may be incorrect.
