MMR Opinions

I ordered DTSS elim from MMR and whiles I was on the site I couldnt help but wonder how a solid subframe/diff would feel. Im sure I want to go that route but I know there are other companies out there. So back on point...

Whos had experience with MMR and how was it.

How were shipping times, how well did parts install, Any problems with them or their products?

Opinions about their camber links, dtss elims, or their mounts.

Shipping times where fine, just took them a while (long while) before they shipped them. I was told they where waiting on material, but it could just be them being busy. No problems with their products, i have hte dtss elimns, and engines/trans/rearsubframe/diffmounts. All press in nicely (grease em up a bit) Dont run the camber links with poly control arm bushings. either stock, or get their spherical bearing (which i also have)

Anyway, overall good product and design. Well made too. Only complaint was wait time.

I had read that on other forums but I wasnt sure... I dont believe what most people write on the internet. But glad to hear their stuff isnt crap (I buy then research all the time) Just not in a position to buy stuff and test it for myself unless I have heard good things.

I was lucky, when I ordered from MMR everything came pretty quickly. The had problem with one bushing on the front control arm and a set in the rear control arm.

Front, me being a complete moron installed the thing backwards at first.

Rear, we didn't fully take out the old bushing. The metal cartridge (technical term) was left. We missed it and turned down the bushings to fit.

So basically, everything I got from them was fine except for the installer failing massively.

My car is all MMR bushings except for the front diff mount.

Judging by others experiences with slow shipping times, that's probably accurate.

Quality is good, but you guys are probably right with the sitting then shipping!!

I'm waiting on an order currently... Have been waiting a while. It's worth it though, when the stuff rocks up cause the quality is good. So far, I have received my Diff and Subframe bushes and they appear to be great quality. Just waiting on everything else (except the trans mounts as I'm running Mazda Comp).

I ordered my dtss elims via pay pal but Im in no hurry, I have bigger issues(tranny blew). So it sounds like his products are a decent buy hopefully all goes well and I can order solid everything in the near future.

I have the rear camber links. It took about a month to receive them but the quality is good and for the price they cant be beat. His communication is non existent, but I have only heard a few stories of people not getting their parts...

Got my order... Only took two months, and Ross did tell me it would take a while, so no problems.

Any tips on installation from anyone that's done it. There ain't no instructions!!
