cool deal man, GB went real smooth...

any hopes that they can keep this price open for any and all future buyers that come through MTnet, kind of like a permanant member discount? Ask them, they may be happy with our initial order, so they may do it.
Good Luck

Sorry Cali, the Group Buy has ended. You can contact lightningmotorsports.com directly and see what they can do for you though.

Eventhough the GB is over, I suspect that we have no worries of getting a good, fair price for these considering we currently have Lightning, 949, MiataRoadster, and TunerToys all carrying the bushings. 3 of these companies are sponsors of this site and the other already hosted a GB for us. This is awesome!

FYI, we were responsible for getting these made and our regular price is $210 shipped.

http://miataroadster.com/

BTW, they fit all years 1990-2005, not only 1990-1997, as the OP states.

And FYI, the durometers are:

95 durometer front uppers
88 durometer front lowers
88 durometer rear uppers
88 durometer rear lowers

Thanks!

Bill

According to your webpage it is $240+25 shipping? Am I missing something?

Thanks for getting these brought to market, I wasn't aware that at the time of this group buy that MiataRoadster sold these. This might have changed things a bit.

$240 includes the 4 diff bushings and the 22 control arm bushings.

Your GB was for only the 22 control arm bushings, which we sell for $185 + $25 shipping = $210.

We only received our first shipment of these yesterday, so we didn't list it on the site until just this week.

We sell lots of other nice parts that you can buy, so please think of us next time!

Thanks,

Bill

hey vendor guys, you gotta be all over these vendor sections to prevent guys from doing all this work to save $1 each.

Hi Bill,

The GB I set up includes the diff bushings. I took a fair bit of time to lay out exactly what was included in the kit on the original post, including hyperlinks to the installation instruction of each sub-component of the kit.

Rear Differential Bushing set:11.4101
  • 2 2698 Differential case bushings
  • 2 4247 Cross member washer bushings
  • 2 15.1.329.39 (0.875”x0.573”x2.500”)
  • 1 17493 Instruction sheet
Thanks,
Chris

PS: I was just using the tactic of feigned recollection so as not to upset the sponsor by rudely pointing out their inability to read

Just got an email with a tracking number.

Tracking page says the box weighs 14.9lbs. That's a lot of bushings.
