Gauging interest for SuperPro bushings

For any of you that don't know me, I'm an authorized SuperPro and Powerflex dealer/installer who mainly caters to FD's. I've always been a fan of RX-3's but can't afford to get one even though I can afford an FD. Go figure A while back, I tried to get a SuperPro group buy going for the old school crowd but the supplier I was dealing with completely dropped the ball and had to abandon the idea. Now I have direct contact with the powers above at SuperPro and have a good relationship with them which means I can cater to the old school crowd with confidence

I'm not very familiar with old school chassis' and will need you guys to tell me what bushings you need. I can look up parts and all that but if you have part numbers handy, that will help greatly! I'd love to set a group buy up to get the initial bushings imported and then keep them in stock for purchase off of my website www.j-automotive.com.

Wacky papi always complains to me that I hate old school rotaries and all this other stuff so I'm here to set things right

SuperPro doesnt have a master kit but I can get all the bushings they list individually. 13BT_RX3 was kind enough to post a link to SuperPro's RX-3 selection. I can get all of those bushings but will need to know which ones you need as some of these have different diameters depending on your application.

I can get those as well. CLICK HERE FOR RX-2 BUSHING LISTING. Just let me know what part number's you'd like and I'll get prices for them.

Thanks for posting the link. I should have done that from the get go .

Some additional details: I'll need to get at least 5 orders in order for it to be cost effective to import these bushings from Australia. ETA is about a week for the bushings to arrive at my door, from the day I place the order with SuperPro, if they're in stock. If they're not in stock, SuperPro will manufacture them for me which will take about 2-3 weeks for them to arrive at my door.

I'll give this thread a few more days and get pricing from whatever part numbers you guys give me.

Love your REPU! You were a Hangover run regular, right? I have pictures of it from those days in one of my hard drives. Thanks for sharing those pictures

I've gathered part numbers and will get pricing for you guys. Hopefully I can get availability on them as well so we all know what kind of ETA to expect once orders are placed.

Thanks!

Anyone want to order some of these bushings? I'm planning on placing an order with SuperPro in a few days and can order some of these old school bushings at the same time.

If anyone else is planning on purchasing some of these bushings, now is the time to get your orders to me. I'll be placing my order in a day or two as soon as I hear back from a few people that are measuring their sway bars.
