Default Anyone here bought from TM Engineering before?

Just curious to know if they've got a track record with anyone here. I'm ordering Daizen sway bar bushings, control arm bushings and steering rack bushings and want to make sure these people are legit.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yeah, Todd is the guy I spoke with. I actually placed an order just yesterday for next-day delivery with him. He wasn't able to get me the tracking number at the moment and said he'd call me back with it. Well, I never heard anything back and each time I try calling, all I get is the TM voice mail.

I just wanted to make sure I didn't just give $245 + my American Express card number away for free...ya-know?

But reading the feedback so far has somewhat calmed my nerves. I'll be a lot calmer when my package arrives today though.

Thanks.

my whole car was done by todd. Suspension, interior, special custom stuff...

no worries at all. Sometimes he may be busy though, but he'll get your stuff out.

Thanks fellas. I appreciate the feedback.

BTW, are there any special tools I'll need to remove my front control arms (anything outside of wrenches and breaker-bars)? Will I need any type of ball-joint separator? I'll be taking the control arms to a shop that's going to remove the old bushings and press-in the new ones.

Thanks,
M.J.

I bought a bunch of stuff from them a few months ago. It took a bit longer to get to me than I had anticipated, but all is well. I am still collecting suspension components for my build so it was no big deal.

Mine arrived last Friday. Everything's there. Now to set aside a couple of days to dismantle my front suspension. I'm also having wheel bearing pressed - so I'll be taking apart the control arms and hub assemblies.

The rings were missing out of my camber kit that I bought from them, and he swore up and down on the phone that he personally packaged that order and they were there. Not really arguing, just suprised that he missed them I guess. I had the rings by the next day. The kit is awesome BTW
