I decided to go with OEM due to quality and price is pretty much the same as aftermarkets out there.

Was it that bad? I remember reading that they were out of stock most of the time and some people had to wait for weeks.

Very true. OP needs to research and be warned. TM hasnt been a vendor on CL for sometime now, and there is a lot of horror stories. So good luck. "My money never funny"

I've had no problems at all with TM Engineering. They get bushing kits from Daizen on a here and there basis. That being said, if Todd has to wait, then we have to wait. Not his fault... I always email TM a week or two ahead of time to find out what they have in stock, then i make my decision whether to wait, or order elsewhere.

Sewell is also a great place to do business with. Never a problem with them either.
