Lencas

[JRowe]

Bought some subframe bushings from him. Arrived as described for the quoted price. Appear to be good quality. I'll be installing in a few weeks and can review then. Good smooth transaction though.

Post saved for pending resolve on Lencas' part. I reciever Ertalon subframe & control arm bushings as well as 75sh urethane trailing arm bushings. the fitment is great on the Ertalon and terrible on the urethane. he has not responded to my emails nor has he responded to my PM.

solutionss?

Ive seen many issues with hes products.

[Brandon12V]

he says he's refunding me on monday for the rtabs so we'll see. I ended up putting in AGK urethane bushings. the ertalon bushings from him are superb so if you end up getting anything I would opt for those. If you use ertalon on the rtabs, I'd suggest reinforcing the mount points on the subframe. The thing about the ertalon material he uses is that the composite is very stiff. no movement, period. Much like bushings made out of delrin. So when machining the bushings, the fitment can be very precise. If he wasn't across seas, I would have waited out and ordered ertalon rtabs from him. The 75sh urethane, on the other hand, is only stiff when it is fit into place. When you hold the bushings in your hand, you can squeeze(deform) them. I think this makes the machining process quite a bit more difficult to be as precise. The AKG urethane was much different. Felt like rock hard plastic that had been produced in a mold rather than machined. My overall experience, thus far, has still been a positive one with Lencas. I was extremely pissed off, and went a little hard on him. He still kept his professional composure and worked things out with me. I will continue to support him as a good seller who is willing to compromise if there are faults in some of his products.

my money has been refunded for the RTAB's. I am satisfied.

[Camoflash]

Dont do business with this guy. He has owed me a refund for RTAB's. And now- 1000 miles later, all his bushings have failed

Such front control arm bushing damage could appear due to contact with a ditch, a rock or a pothole. The bushing itself is still perfectly usable. On another note, please try inserting the differential bushing from the other side of the mount. This could help with the issue of the bushing pushing itself out and becoming loose.



I'll send you a refund for rtabs within a month.

Lencas,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? My bushings were installed properly by a BMW shop you weasel. Your crafstman ship is TERRIBLE and THAT is to blame. I have receipts for the install, even the tech asked "where did you buy these??, they look like junk" The FCAB's were not drilled straight and the overall diameter of the bushing was off. The reason you see them in opposite orientation is due to the bushing ROTATING in the lolipop. Improper machining and terrible material. Lencas, You claim that the bushing was pressed in improperly, but the bushing took no press to install. And even after installation they wiggled- you never responded to my emails about that. The RTAB's that he sold me were too long and squished out upon installation- you never responded to my emails about that. The Diff bushing is pushing out, it was also improperly machined- and yet again, you ignored my refund requests for that.

You made me come to this. All of your bushings from the "race" kit were utter crap, you mustve been drunk.




Lencas IS A SCAMMER AND HAS FAKE REVIEWS.
I tried to PM people who have purchased from lencas with no response.
He has promised me a refund and never came through only having this excuse. Other members have responded with the fact that they have given up trying to chase down their parts/money



Look at these pictures for proof and never buy a bushing from him ever. He has screwed over several members and never refunded them. Lencas your "excuses" are sad and sorry. Goddamn Liar









Save yourself the coin, and buy real bushings. LENCAS IS A SCAMMER

He owes the following people parts/money:

Camoflash (me)

Wow I have his rtabs, I'm going to go ahead and not use them, though. I have his Subframe bushings but they seem fine.

[Camoflash]

His bushings are complete $hit. Tolerances are off, material is crappy, service is horrible. The offset hole for the FCAB's was drilled by a monkey and was far off after measuring them

He has yet to refund me for the RTAB's from over 4 months ago.

Consider what you bought from him a loss.

solutionss?

Solution: Dont buy his bull$hit.


I could deal with a shitty product if he stood behind it. But with answers like this....

Such front control arm bushing damage could appear due to contact with a ditch, a rock or a pothole. The bushing itself is still perfectly usable. On another note, please try inserting the differential bushing from the other side of the mount. This could help with the issue of the bushing pushing itself out and becoming loose.

Had no fitment issues with anything, i used urethane control arm bushings and trailing arm bushings...no problems. Will have the car on a lift this week to change my oil pan and will inspect everything, but so far its all good.

[Camoflash]

FLG- what poly hardness did you buy? The 90 i have for the subframe is ok. But the 75sh has deteriorated in under 1000 miles.

I tried telling lencas that his 75sh poly was crap. Now he wants to blame the installation...lol

[Northern]

I have a full set of the 90sh rear end bushings/mounts, CABs and motor/trans mounts.

So far I've only had the chance to put the motor mounts on. They're much taller than stock mounts, which brings my oilpan up to around an inch above the lowest point on the steering rack. They are more than sufficiently torqued, but I had the engine hoist and throttle body make dents and cracks in my previously mint hood. I have since made shorter top plates for the mounts out of 1/8" 2024 T3 Alclad which give me a bit of clearance to the hood.

I guess we'll see what happens when I go to install the rears.

[FLG]

Just did a quick look at the lower control arm mounts (75sh) everything is just fine...will look the trailing arms but im pretty sure those will be fine as well.

[Lencas]

Camoflash, if you had any ideo how to work with the car, or how to press in bushings, there would be no problem. Now I see that you are a little shit that is trying to blackmail me to get money for his own mistakes... First you said you had lost 800$ with these bushings, one day later it became 1k $? How can it be raised 200$ per day with doing nothing ?

At first i didn't notice that you can be so dumb and press in fcabs badly, but then i took a closer look i could belive that this mistake can be done. Do you have any idea about car's suspension?
After having sold over 30 sets for e30 I know that my products work, and last long as polyurethane should. I know that 75sh poly doesn't have that shiny look, but that's why the price is a lot lower then others.

And your solution "Don't buy from this guys, his products are shit" ???? And your pms "refund my money and i'll remove my messages" ?? this is normal to you ?

You messed up and now act like shit, son.

[Camoflash]

Lencas- you are a hack and full of lies. Good luck selling your chewing gum bushings.
