Type R Club of America

I too just ordered the Mugen compliance bushings from RHDJapan and noticed the same thing when i switched payment types. Currently on back order until May 30th. Not in a rush either. These are the last bushings I need to replace.

Interesting, I never knew about the extra charges. Everytime I ordered from them I always used Paypal linked to my bank account I never had that charge.

Those Compliance bushings seem to take forever for some reason, it took over 6 months to get them from King the last time I ordered mine.

Just if you guys didn’t know.

Canada isn't on their list so fingers crossed!

I just ordered some Bride seat rails from RHD. Shipping with DHL. We'll see if they ship soon or not.

Update - The bushings arrived today, four days after they left Osaka and almost two weeks before the original e.t.a.. They combined the compliance and trailing arm bushings into the motor mount box and didn't have a lot of cushioning so they did get some chingers and nicks here and there. I gave them a wash and clean and will touch them up with some high-temp paint as needed and apply some Shin-Etsu to preserve the rubber as they are not being installed immediately. I understand that they put them all in the same box to keep shipping costs down. To piggy-back on that, these aren't as cosmetically appealing as the Hasports as they're very utilitarian and meant to be on a production-class race car, not a show car, so that doesn't bother me too much. As an added bonus, they threw in a couple of stickers and some Dixcel thermal strips that you place on your brake calipers to measure brake temperature which I thought was pretty cool. I don't know if they do that with every order but I have already begun putting my next list together. I agree that this should be kept on the D.L. as this seems to be a great cost-effective resource and ICB has recently increased the price on many of their Spoon parts. Others are sure to follow.

I thought Spoon motor mounts were hardened rubber?

They are rubber, but the look like they use OEM like housings. When you look at an engine bay with them it just looks "stock"

Exactly. The Spoon & Mugen bushings look just like OEM units and probably come from the same source supplier, just with harder rubber compounds. I don't want a harsh ride so that's why I chose these and only chose the Mugens because they cost less than the Spoons but I believe they are very comparable, if not identical. The Gunmetal Hasports are very attractive but I've read too many complaints that even the "Street" compound is to harsh.
