I forgot to post yesterday but I called the manufacturer and they were able to get more metal and have resumed manufacturing the diff bushings. I will probably pick up what they have on the 11th and ship more stuff out that weekend.
I don't want to miss anyone so if you have not received your parts from me yet please send me an email (david@svx-iw.com) and tell me when you sent payment in an effort to remind me who's left. Thanks!

Torn packaging
Any luck with the claim for the dif bushings that got lost somewhere between your house and mine?

I also was able to pick up another bunch of diff bushings before work and plan on sending out some more orders, including yours, on monday. That being said, if anyone else is looking for any of these bushings there are still some available.

David,
Any progress on pulling together the "how to" on removing/replacing the rear diff bushings? Did you end up cutting the stock ones out with a sawzall or what? -Bill

Thanks. What did you use to press the old bushing out? Did you just hammer the new bushings in? -Bill

Wow... That is a big list.
Congrats Earthworm on a hugely successful group buy. Your coordination and follow up on this has been exemplary. You have earned extra points of trust from us all. Great job and Thank you!

Thanks guys. I think there's at least one more paid person waiting for their order though. Hopefully anyone else I've missed contacts me so I can get them their parts.
As for the future I'd like to get more custom polyurethane parts available to our group and for sure I would do a few things different for the next group buy. I do still have extra pieces available for those who are still interested. If no one claims them then I will probably throw up a few sets on eBay. Strangely enough, I was hoping that those who installed the swaybar bushings would have shared their thoughts here with the changes they've made to their cars.
