Has anyone got their order yet?

Yup, received mine a couple of days ago. No time to install it just yet, but they're sitting on my desk waiting!

Only 3 spots left to qualify for the intro offer...

Great! Guess I will have to wait a few more days for the slow boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

there's a total of 6 bushingsn and one shim that looks like a gasket.
4 main ones on the control rod which get the most punishment which end up having to be replaced every few years through normal wear an tear... more often if you are rough (like me when i drive agressively), but there's 2 that dont really move (which is the 3rd set)... these just take the torque exerted when you move side to side. and then there's the one in the extention rod which is that big fat one.

the polyeurothane ones that are oem replacements tear quickly... and are kinda flimsy but take away a lot of vibration

the bronzoil ones because of their composition take away the freeplay and last longer, but dont absorb the vibration..

... its like comparing air ride to drag launch springs as a reference.

I have almost all of their products and I think they are excellent quality and well worth the money.

Mine arrived today, including nice clear illustrated instructions. Thanks Luc!! If they don't get installed this weekend (due to a few "must fix" things on the MX-6), they def will go into the MX-3 the weekend after that.

Yes, i have received my srd 3rd link (plus more of their items

) Thanks again Luc, for the quick shipping and communications....I'd recommend SRD to anyone! Might be another week though until I try and install everything though

I have just about every SRD part as well. They're all great. I have a pair of bronzoil bushing left over because my TWM shifter uses a bearing. So why waste the perfectly good bushings. I'll make my own 3rd link.

I have every single one of the SRD bushings comming in, half from Gro, the other half from SRD, neither has arrived yet, but no rush, I'm still waiting on my struts (1 Month + 1 Week and counting)

I got it all

Got the 3rc link bushing kit yesterday aswell.

Only thing I`m missing is the battery tie-down... but I`m relocating my battery to the trunk anyway.

Hey, hey...great stuff. You didn't think it was going to get lost in the middle of the Atlantic, did you?

I got just about all of their bushing sets also and will have to wait a week or so to install. It might be worthwhile for other members/prospective buyers (and Luc of course) to post back in this or another thread on how easy (or not) it was to install the various SRD components.
