FYI I just installed the R2's on my 1995 SC400.

The round bushings with the metal sleeve worked great as expected, but the other bigger bushing that goes under the metal bracket DID NOT WORK. Its too narrow by about 4MM to fit under that metal band/bracket on my car. The diameter of the bushing was fine, just the width was too narrow.

I'm currently looking into trying to get my hands on a Supra metal bracket to see the differences.

Just wanted to give a heads up on that.

ALSO... I wouldn't order from a company I couldnt TALK to a human being at easily. I've called MVP with an issue before, and they handled it immediately on the phone. Not bad mouthing TME, but seriously if you have to chase a supplier down they can suckit.

It seems like everybody who does the bushing replacement pulls that one out and it isn't worn out.

Yah, mine was fine.

It was the other bushings (which fit fine!!) that were trashed on my SC.
