If you don't have any current, personal experience w/ TM, w/ the evidence to back it online; well, your just slandering a company in anonymity.

Personally, I ordered my lower ball joints, poly brushings, and steering rack brushings from TM about 2 years ago w/out any fuss, with the BEST price and with no hassle shipping. I couldn't be more pleased. Mind you, this was when nobody had these parts in stock for the 2GS (Sewell and Carson included, b/c i called them personally).

Now, I can't speak for the new members that are ordering from TM. But I am only speaking from personal experience w/ my money to back it. Things might have changed, but don't be so quick to defame a company bolstered w/ unreliable online chatter.

I hate being screwed online. Sometimes I kick myself in the *** when I have to hassle with the hassle of dealing with the vendor w/ the best price. And for the guys w/ the sales that are currently pending, I feel you, but don't be quick to judge. Chatter is Chatter.

If you don't have any current, reliable, & trustworthy evidience to prove any bad faith or unfair dealing w/ TM, just wait or don't post at all.

I don't know Todd at all, and have no vested interest in his business venture; but, I hate to see a good company go down by a bunch of hearsay stacked on hearsay. That's ridiculous.

If you have personal experience and the evidence to prove, post it. If not, keep trollin'.
You mentioned two years ago, that was then, this is now. The guy is a fraud plain and simple, you don't run a business that way. There is no legitimate reason for not responding to your customer's inquiring about their order, after your money has been taken, and you were told "Your order is being prepared for shipment", two months ago. I placed my order in October and the year is almost ended and nothing to date, that is ridiculous. If he doesn't have it in stock, then say so up front, but don't take people's money and then leave them hanging, he should not be doing business if he has no business ethics. We need to report him to the Chamber of Commerce in his area and put and end to this madness.

I think I figured out why/whats going on. I talked to the dealer at steven's creek lexus. He said that the owner of Daizen is having financial problems. At one point the guy went bankrupt and started over again. I'm still waiting on TM engineering as well.

Screw it i went with Sewell, always ship really fast and are only 1 city away from me.

I will TRY to contact TM and see if they will still send my bushings anytime soon. If i get them soon ill post them for sale to help anyone else out if Sewell is sold out.

Thats what i was thinking as well.. Order them from Sewell and if we get them from TM put them up for sale.. I've delt with Sewell many times and they are always on top of everything.. I've sent two emails to TM and nothing yet? Its been two days.. Don't forget to use "clublexus" at checkout on Sewell... GL..
