Ordering from TM Engineering

I was wondering about TM Engineering service. I'm ready to order my new steering rack and control arm bushing but after searching I'm getting mixed reviews on TM. I emailed them 2 weeks ago and got no response. Anyone order anything from them lately? Whats your opinion on TM? Thanks in advance.

I've installed Daizen urethane sway bar bushings from TME. I'm very happy with the result.

No guarantees, but, many, many folks have reported bad email responses from TM Engineering, but if you just go ahead and order from their web site you'll likely get what you ordered. Sometimes they're on backorder but they've always come through eventually.

Thanks for the reply guys. Thinking about just getting the OEM bushings. I know OEM is rubber and TME is polyurethane. I want the polyurethane stiffness. Any other advantages aftermarket vs OEM?

Hey Scyul, how long ago did you order your bushings from TME?

Just found this on fleabay. $198 shipped. Any thoughts?

About the picture above... Hope this is just a generic image because these are not for a SC430...

Yes the pic is generic. Just wondering if anyone has used it. I called the dealership and they do not sell bushings separately have to buy new lower control arms.
