Good to hear. Now I'll just play the waiting game for them to get in stock.

Has anyone actually ordered from TMEngineering in the past few weeks. I see a lot of people saying they have and had no problems but no time frame given. When I search I see plenty of people having no problems but usually the posts are from years ago.

I actually tried emailing TMEngineering and got no response, I emailed daizen asking who to buy from and got no response either ha. I am thinking of going with R2(mvp) or armstrongdistributors bushings but I would rather have the rubber grommet also if I am doing them.

Oh also, I was thinking about the aluminum ones from DM(I order a ton from aaron) but I am worried about vibration. It's the ole ladies car and she likes it to feel like a lexus not like my cars where they vibrate your teeth out ha.

I emailed MVP they are out of stock at the moment. Also I asked about fitment issues with the R2 rubber grommet and he knew nothing of a fitment issue. I wonder if the sc400 uses the same rack grommet and as the sc300.

SC300 and SC4 have the same suspension setup, atleast they look identical.

Just odd that MVP would list the bushing kit for the sc then if the rubber grommet doesn't fit based on a few people here.

Driftmotion is awesome I am just worried about the solid bushings causing a lot of vibration.

I just don't want to take away the lexus feel of the car, I want it to ride like a lexus. I have poly motor mounts in my jeep and they vibrate nicely and it feels like a jeep ha.

That's interesting, I definitely would have expected more vibration would be transmitted. In the past, I have even wondered if the solid bushing could, in time, cause premature failure of the steering rack, since there's no more "give" to absorb impacts and jolts so therefore the internals of the steering rack itself must absorb the blows.
