Polyurethane Bushings
I'd hate to do this, I know alot of people have covered this subject already, but I want a timeline. I'm trying to find out if Daizen/TM Engineering is still in business; if they are who can vouch for them that have bought something from them within a month timeframe from today? Or besides TM Engineering who else sells and have bought Daizen bushings stuff within a month timeframe from today? I'm trying to get steering rack bushings and control arm bushings.
Now, if there is really no way I can get by Daizens nowadays, who can point me to the right direction where I can buy these stuff that I need and vouch for them as well that it is as good as Daizens? (There's really no way anyone can vouch for this stuff like this unless you have personally tried both..)
I know alot will be ranting and whining about this thread wether I searched or not; so let me answer that right now, yes I did search, I even PM'd a few members regarding this, and haven't received a response since, so please hate all you want but if you ain't contributing anything shut up and keep moving, thanks!

First of all I just want to say, I can't blame you for making a new thread. Every time I try searching for something I never have much success because of all the threads just seem thrown all together in one little section under SC 300/400 making it hard to narrow your search and find the info you need. Maybe somebody needs to teach me how to effectively search and use this site. I wish there was a site like E46Fanatics SPECIFFICALLY for SC's.
ANYWAYS....
I recently bought sway bar bushings from TM Engineering and it did take a little longer in shipping than I expected, but it wasn't unreasonable. As far as the product, they are great and I couldn't be happier! I am also undecided about replacing my control arm bushings or just replacing the control arms all together. You can get all new arms with new bushings and ball joints from rock auto for $61 a piece.

But anyhow, so you're saying you recently bought sway bar bushings from TM Engineering? How recent? Is it the Daizen ones? Well, what I like about Daizens is that it's already been tested by the "old timers" here and have not seen any negative thoughts about it. (I'd rather go for the sure route rather than the doubt route.)
I've never ordered anything from Rock Auto before but is there anybody on here that can vouch for them that they are at least as good as OEM?

Not sure if the Supra TT control arm bushings are compatible. Maybe someone can chime in. I got the R2 steering rack bushings from here and they're a perfect fit.

r2, daizen, prothane, energy etc...they are all the same. Made by the same distributor, armstrong distributions. Search a lil better and you will find the thread. Rock auto only sells the upper control arms not the lower. If they sold new lowers for 61$ we would all have like 4 sets each on hand.
Anyway i bought daizens from TM and i got them in like 2 months (they were backordered) R2 fit the same and you can buy them from MVP and they have great contact and support. Choice is yours...

I've had both Daizen and Prothane Control Arm Bushings in my hands at the same time, they looked the exact same.

I bought mine from here, both times and it came in under a week.

I've just contacted that armstrongdistributors.com, they don't know if the steering rack bushings they have would fit my '95 SC400 because on their catalog it's just saying 91-94. Anybody knows anything about this? And it doesn't come with the grommet(I think).
