Do you guys think a metal fabrication shop would be able to make subframe bushings? I was looking at these that shark racing sells but I dont know if I want to buy from them since it might take a really long time for them to come in. What type of measurements would I need to give a shop to make them locally?

outside and inside diameters, length, and size and thickness of end flanges, if any. I'd say if you are making bushings, you might consider a self-lubricating *bronze* before going with aluminum. Aluminum turns to glue and welds parts together when it oxidizes in steel. Bronze just turns green and/or goes away if it does anything.

P.S. I'm kinda jealous of the VW crowd, who have the first-world problem of having to decide between off-the-shelf bronze or aluminum bushings for EVERYTHING on their cars.
