well mine are bad and i really didnt want those solid aluminum bushings and no body makes a polyurethane type right now. so i decided to design and make my own.

Talk to Chris about becoming a supporting vender before you offer stuff like this for sale, or you'll catch isht from the moderators... Just a heads up.

The pictures look good though! Are you only making them for 2g cars? Looks like aluminum and poly? Can we get more info?
 
im sure i could make them for 1g's also but i only have a 2'g so i couldent spec out for a 1g. if i had dimensions i could also make sets for 1g's.
and you you are correct they are 6061 T6 and polyurethane

im sure becomming a vendor cost money and im sure its not worth it if i only have 1 or 2 parts to sell. i actually plan on selling these to a supporting vendor and they will be reselling them. i actually have an arrangment set up with one already. i was planning on contacting one or two more vendors as well

if any mod's or vendors would like to chime in on this with some good info that would be great

or if your a vendor and are interested in reselling these contact me also
 
here are the install photos! check them out!

they are installed and here are some pics of the process. i used a sawsal to cut the rubber out and then cut the old bushing in 2 places, it took about 30min once the subframe was out. what do you guys think. ill be getting ready to make some more and sell them. pm me for info but i will only be selling a limited number for now
 
if i ever get my hands on a 1g sub frame i would be glad to make them. or if i can atleast get a good diameter of the hole and of the bolts that it uses so if anyone has a 1g in pieces let me know
 
i sure as hell need some also,let us know when these are ready for production!
 
well it would be nice to see the photos but you have a password set up so no one can see them.
 
... Thigns have changed, there are polyurethane placements for our rear diffs. Just do a simple google search.
 
Very nice product! I will make sure to keep these in mind when I make my purchase in the future!

Very clean and professional part, and great slideshow of pictures showing the product quality, fitment, install, etc.

Good job!

thanks for the positive comment. i put alot of time, effort and $ to make these
 
well you can make me eat my words. UMS must have gone under. UMS did sell these bushings in polyurethane about 2 months ago. Dont know where they went.


Edit: Nevermind guess they are in middle of production runs

UMS 2g rear Diff Bushing Kit !!! FREE SHIPPING !!!

FWIW UMS Tuning was also in the middle of a production run back 6 months ago when I inquired about these. At that time I was able to order a set from one of their vendors.
 
Really nice work, they look great.

Sending you a PM about another project.
 
i have heard about the UMS style bushings, unlike UMS you dont get a box of pieces and have to put the bushing together your self these are custom made milled and machined one piece bushings ready to install out of the box. not a pieced together bushing using a ES bushing that cost them $20 in materials
