Only one company had the bushings but they were a US company, too. If you guys want me to, you can ship them to me and I'll ship them out to ya. You've gotta cover shipping, though. Don't worry about me running off with 'em, I just installed my set tonight and I'm not going to screw ya over.

PM me on here or AIM (txmixer) if you want help. The bushings are DEFINATELY worth it.

I got the shifter & bushings through a group buy a year ago on this board. Probably the reason why no one else is in a hurry to set something up.
Saturated market.
Anyway, I'm looking to buy the exhaust hanger bushings. So if anyone sets something up add me to the list.

Uhhhh, how hard can it be to ship up here?????? No insults intended but it's not like our customs are gonna hold anything back, especially for two rubber pieces...... (uhm)

Would this also be the case with corksport? That shift knob looked nice...oh well, you Americans got everything.... until we de-criminalize marijuana that is!

what do these bushings do?

They make the shifter much more rigid and precise. It is a great upgrade. No more slop when shifting.

The Hanger bushings also are great. My new exhaust was sagging with the stockers, then I put the Kartboys on and it tightened up to the body nicely and doesn't jiggle around when shifting turning etc.

I recommend both upgrades. Both combined cost $ 50.00 USD. Cheap and effective. (naughty)

hmm, I never found the shifter to be sloppy. Reverse gear is kinda notchy sometimes. Oh and thanks for the advice about the search DZ, I wouldn't want you to have to go outta your way. ;)

Yeah, I didn't either until I put the Kartboy's in. (naughty)

I went to www.strictlydriven.com (http://www.strictlydriven.com/)... but it seems that they only have the shift bushings for STi/WRX.. but not for Mazdas... are there any other ways I can get my hand on these?
