Treehouse Racing Control Arm Bushings GB- Shipped!

[DarkWing6]

So if those who were able to make it in to the group buy are getting new bushings, are the misengraved parts available for sale. Although, I didn't get in on the GB in time, I would still be interested in a set of the original misengraved bushings.

i believe all the ones in the group buy are the misengraved ones

I believe you have a reading defiency.

:oops:

Good news, Shipping Dates!

Our production eyeball arms are back in stock, so the group buy bushings should ship out Wednesday via USPS. I will let you know exactly when they have all been shipped. The new bushings that came in today are beautiful!
Remember though, these bushings are unpainted, and will need to be cleaned and prepped before painting.

SWEET!

Thanks for the info, and thanks for organizing the group buy.

And the misengraved units?

They are no longer available. If you want to buy a set right now, you can check bimmerworld's website or treehouse's main website

What did we all decide was the best way to paint these? (materials and procedure)

[Skafrog]

You will have to clean them before you paint them with something like 409, then you can paint them without primer if you want, thats how mine are, and they are fine after a year. They dont have to be perfect if they are going on your own car. Engine enamel (the high heat paint) works great, thats what I use.

*All the eyeball arms were shipped out today (Wednesday, Dec 2nd).
Let me know when you recieve the bushings.

I think putting them on right now may cause some premature wear on the already old parts in the suspension.

I'm holding out till i can afford to rebuild the whole suspension (tie rods, control arms, shocks, springs, etc) to put everything on.

That is my plan as well. Switching to aluminum CAs, new tie rods, custom endlinks, and either switching to Koni shocks or just going with Leda coilovers.
