FatalTheory Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I just spent two days replacing the bushings in my stock LCAs (shoulda been 4 hours, but broke a damn bolt)... seeing this makes me a little sad. I'm in for quality reviews and potentially buying a set off someone if the quality and resale price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freaksavior Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I was told my front right was bent, and I've been toying with the idea of having a spare set so I can swap out whiteline bushing and joints in. $26 shipped. Can't beat that. Ordered a set. If they don't look up to par on quality I'll take them into my properties of materials lab and cut them into little pieces and determine their strength. I hope you do for the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 So for those of you that bought multiple sets if you want to donate a set to science I can give us all piece of mind as to their strength by cutting it up and running some different tests on them. Didn't think about it till after I ordered my pair last night 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanyb505 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'd like to see a pic or verification these are genuinely good parts. If they are legit I'll gladly buy a set off one of you fine early adopters that bought more than one set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted September 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'm still gonna be shocked if they actually show up. We should get a count of how many were actually ordered. Assuming they're losing $100 or so a pop I can't see how they wouldn't just send nasty emails telling everything to eff off, lol. *fingers crossed* "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesh21 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 If these are actually what they say, I will buy a set off of anyone who bought multiple.

JmP6889928 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The parts will be fine and they will ship them. It was obviously a mistake and someone got their ass chewed for it but even at $106 they are quite a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
