Default Where to buy Steering Rack bushings

So I have now decided to do and cant find them. I have heard horror stories about Daizen and honestly I don't even want to start down a road thats going to end in frustration. I emailed them today and still haven't heard back. Phone number is a fax machine. So not instilling allot of confidence.

So where is everyone purchasing?

I got mine from TM Engineering, they shipped it with no problems. However, I also ordered their front caster/camber kit which has been on backorder for years...

I tried ordering from TMEngineering a while back and i got a shipping confirmation....that's it. No bushings at all, so i was out 50 bucks. I might try it again because im starting to get sick of my shifty steering right now, but i don't have a ton of confidence in them at this point. Some people had no problems with them, others have had no luck. Make your pick

Yeah see thats why I don't even want to do it. Some people get their stuff, some don't. Seems like a real flakey way of doing business.

I emailed them to ask if they were in stock. Nada reply. Keep treating people like that and they will eventually go away.

I didn't know MVP had them? They're a legit place to get parts from and all of the guys on Supraforums will vouch for them.

They carry the R2 Racing version of it, which is literally the same kit except in a different brand box.

I made the mistake of ordering from TM and now I'm out $240. A month ago I received and email saying that my parts were in and would be shipped that day. Coincidentally that was right after I *****ed about their service on this site. Two weeks later I received a tracking order saying the parts were shipping, but that apparently was bogus also. As far as I am concerned at this point, they stole my money.

I've heard of people talking about using these bushings, but no solid info if they work 100%. Can you confirm that they fit? If so im jumping on a set of these, screw TME....
