Prothane's quality is top notch. www.prothane.com I have made a contact within the company, and they are intrested in our celica's. They are currently developing a set for the old school corolla's due to the "drift craze" i was told.. i explained to him my spot in the celica community and a lack of parts. If we show enough intrest the company will add us to the R&D and start to produce our parts. first problem would be that we will need a local member willing to let them use it for there test car. im sure there would be some kind of bonus in the end, but i cannot promise anything. i would like to start my list of intrested members here. if they do decide to take on this task, it could take 7-8months. please only add yourself if you are serious.

I'd let them use my car- but it depends how often they'd need it combined with if they'd give me a full set preinstalled at the end.. IE, I wouldn't be interested in letting them just having my car for 7 months. I wouldn't be interested in them having my car every other week for a full week- if I didn't get a full set, etc etc I hope I don't sound greedy.. but she's my baby- and my only car.

-Ryan

it should be compairable to a ES master kit.. front & rear control arms, sway bars, motor mounts, & shifter. all depends on the model they work on etc.. from what i understand i may have to ship them my control arm assembly to work with, or purchase a new/ junk yard parts to mail them.. again, i need to see strong intrest before i take the next step. my car has been sitting for months, i wouldnt care if i took it apart and mailed them pieces. i want to see this list explode sense no company makes this for us, theres really no reason that this should become a reality. if prothane is willing to take the step and make poly bushings, im buying.

I do hope someone signs up seeing how I need some poly-urethane bushings for my sway bars ( the ones from suspension techniques crack too fast)

prices will be compareable to the other products they supply. im sure if we get the intrest, and they do make these. they would probably follow through to a group buy for us. theres no reason we cant get 50 members in on this to get it rollin to R&D and some production.

active tuning just did a group buy for a rear strut bar for nissan se-r's. 91-94.. there was almost 60 members in the GB.. no company makes poly mounts for us so if anyone here wants a better suspension, theres no reason we cannot get 50 or more to push the company to production.
