This is long overdue, but here we go!

If you are looking for Aluminum SFBs, I would highly recommend that you contact Bruce! Not only is his price excellent, but the bushings are very high quality. He also shipped them via FedEx Ground (my favorite service, as they don't destroy my packages like UPS...) right after I paid. His design allows for the use of the stock SFB washers, which I think is another plus as well.

I am totally satisfied with the SFBs and will more than likely be installing a set of them on my own SHO when I do the clutch soon. (The current set are on my gf's SHO).

BTW, for those of you afraid of noise or vibration... the addition is really minimal, and I actually think it accents the character of the SHO engine nicely. The shift response is improved, and the car corners better as well.

Wow I missed this one. Usually I see these and want to jump in and say thanks for the purchase.

So Thanks again guys for the purchases. As long as there are ppl wanting them, I'll keep offering them. And as long as people are happy with them and the benefits to the car they experience, then I am happy. now, if I could just sell enough of them to afford a quaife i'd be really happy :)

Chris when you want another set let me know. I'll give all repeat buyers 5% off the sale or make a $5 donation to the forum which ever they choose.

thanks for the plug jason. even though you only had them in your SHO for a little while :)

that picture in your sig makes me cry. :( I was there when the 65k mile ATX tranny slid into place, and both of us still had all our fingers. It's a shame to see the car like that, but atleast it'll live on in others' cars :)

Matt you're very welcome. Glad they got to you as quick as they did.

I had to bribe the nice lady at the Post office the other night to turn her machine back on and print me off some postage cause the webpage for the USPS postage thing was down. Figures it was 4:56 here and they were shutting everything down.

Just wanted to say some more nice things about these SFBs and Bruce. He was kind enough to hold onto a set until I got paid and then he was able to get them out the same day I sent the paypal to him. Tracking number was even sent to my email by Fedex. Excellent work!

more props for Bruce. mine came yesterday while i was sleeping. for some odd reason, i woke up early and there they were. i was so excited, i ripped the box apart with my thumbs, like a little kid on Christmas day.

the pictures posted here dont even do these beautifully machined pieces the justice they deserve. i commenced to install them, after reading the newspaper they came wrapped in :) . 1 1/2 hours later, i was test driving. i agree with Zap, the added noise and vibration is minimal, and what N&V there is, it REALLY does accent the Yamahammer. it makes me feel more connected to the car. on a quick take off, i am able to quickly get 2nd gear..feels as though i may be shifting firmer and faster. after trying the 1-2 shift again and being all giddy, i noticed red and blues in my rear view. i got a warning for exhibition of acceleration.

Best $$$ ive spent on my car so far. after a year and a half of doing neglected maintainance, its time to UPGRADE !

THANKS BRUCE !

My thanks go to you guys for buying them. It makes me happy to see that people love them as much as is evidenced here.

now about this..." i got a warning for exhibition of acceleration." Can they really give you a warning for that? IF so I really need to watch out, I frequently romp 1 or 2 to get up to the speed limit really quick.

NetVipers bushings are beyond mere mortal words like "thank you" and "nice job" or "these rock". The quality you are getting for 100.00 (shipped no less) is far more than any vendor to date has ever delivered. If the other sho parts in the universe were as nice as these bushings, our cars would be collector's items.

2 1/2 hours to install (lunch and B.S'ing on the phone). "car handles like its on rails"
