I bought two sets from Jegs about three weeks ago and received them in a little more than a week.
They have both been installed.

Do these fit around the back body bushing any or just the frame area there?

Still waiting, I ordered them from Summit about 5-6 weeks ago. They
are being shipped from Hotchkis, they say middle of July. Called Jegs
same thing they have none are waiting for Hotchkis. When I originally
ordered from Summit they said it is a 2 week wait, yea right.

My understanding is Summit and Jeg's got partial shipments on their very large orders and so some folks got them right away but they went back ordered and Hotchkis is playing catch up now. I heard mid July also.

Summit's website says they'll ship Monday. (Not that I necessarily believe that, but that's what it says)

What's the verdict? From those who have them on now?

They went on fine, fit very well. Look good and quieted down my coupe with the squeeky interior. Both cars feel tighter and more stable.
I'm glad I bought them.
BTW, I got mine from Jegs. If Summit's not delivering, you might call them. Mine were here in just a little over 1 week.

The rear mounting bolt in the front subframe, goes through the connector. They also bolt into both sides of the frame. They can be welded there also, you just couldn't remove the front subframe later. The rear section welds to the front of the rear subframe and clears the front spring attachment, so the springs can be removed without messing with the connectors.
Sorry if that sounded confusing, I wasn't sure I understood the question, so I may have tried too hard there.

I'll post pictures later if you want.

Thanks it sounds like you answered my question to a certain point. What I was trying to find out about the sub-frame connection point around the body bushing is the pictures I have seen of just the subframe is that it has a piece that either sits below the body bushing on top of the sub-frame or below the bottom bushing inside the subframe. I was trying to find out how it connects into that area. Hope this cleared my question up better.
Thanks
Ray
