its a hit and miss with them. I've placed 2 order for all 3kits. Back in march i had to wait 12 days for shipping confirmation email. Then few weeks ago, order placed monday, had everything on friday.

I believe Sewell sells the kits for the same price, more reliable place to get them imo. However I got my TM kits VERY quickly. (and havent installed them yet )

It's too bad Prothane or Energy Suspension don't make anything but sway bar bushings for the GS. Maybe we can convince them to make them if the demand is big enough.

Side note:Pretty much everyone on the Daizen site listed as a seller of their products said they don't carry them anymore,including Sewell. They have had no contact at all with Daizen,phone or email. A few thought he may be out of business.

Hope you get yours....


Please also add the CA bushings to my list....i figure if they are not making these anymore and are so hard to get,might as well grab 'em if i can. I would love to replace all of them even though my CA bushings seem ok. I just replaced the lower ball joints and did an alignment a few weeks ago....what a difference in comfort and noise reduction.

Just talked to a guy at Energy Suspension who gave me the email address of the R&D guy there who takes requests for new products. They are in California,anyone wanna be a guinea pig for them? Let's blow up this dude's inbox with inquiries. Seems like the only solution left.


mpapazian@energysuspension.com


He is out of town till this Thursday,so be patient for a reply.

Or if you guys are game,we could move this info to the 2GS forum so it can get more views.

nice! atleast you know youre getting them... I just sent a email to TM as well wondering are my items on back order, nothing on their site states they are on BO. I would rather purchase them off a site who has them in stock instead of waiting for months at a time and still not sure if youre on the bottom of the list.
