Question Aftermarket bushing set

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a set of aftermarket bushings (like the polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension, unfortunately they don't make a set for the FD))for a FD. I can't seem to find anything on it, any info would be great, thanks.

I've got a brand new, unopened set of Unobtainium bushings for sale, from the first group buy, I paid over $700 for them, and will let them go for $600 or the best offer over $500 I get by the end of the week.

It appears that FEED has a complete 18 bushing set of pillow ball bushings to replace the ones in the stock suspension...I found this page while surfing the web the other day:

http://www.pac-gate.co.jp/feed/fd3s-fe.html

It's in Japanese, but you can use altavista to get a translation. I thought it was interesting.

I wonder if anybody will be importing this bushing kit.....

At the current exchange rate, they're only ~$1000 for the whole set, which I thinnk is reasonable considering that is what you would pay for a set of Mazdaspeed 40% stiffer bushings. That's $1000 before paying any duties or shipping though...I have no idea how much all that costs.

NEOFREAK: I'll buy those bushings from you! My 95 RX-7 is in the shop now getting a portjob and 3mm seals, and I want to replace the worn out stock bushings while it is there. Please E-mail if they are still for sale. Thanks alot!

Unobtainium Bushings still for sale.

I have a brand new Unobtainium Bushings for sale. One day I will actually get these bushings. I should definitely have them by this week, since all the shipment went out on Jimlab's Unobtainium Bushings. I went into the group buy about 3 months ago and I completely paid for my set, now I'm just waiting for my shipment to come in. I will definitely sell the complete set of Unobtainium Bushings as soon as I get it.

neofreak, I e-mailed and pm, how about a response on the shipping info. I need to get it a.s.a.p. I get a little insecure when people don't respond to their e-mails.
