Help me get a new mod developed

I emailed energy suspensions requesting a polyurethane front sway bar bushing (27mm), and they replied with this:

Mark,

Appreciate the interest but our development is derived from our sales
department and we haven't received the go-ahead on that car.

Thanks.

So, I want everyone to flood those two email addy's with requests for a product. (hyperflex@energysuspension.com and nterry@energysuspension.com)

mention they are compatible with the Accord.

no one else is interested in poly bushings?
My initial email also requested them to port motor mounts for us too, I know people have asked for them.

give'em an email, tell them you'd like to see it brought to market.

i sent them an email a while back as well. they todl me that they don't have anything lined up either. if you are really interested in having them make one, i'd suggest fixing your car up a hell of a lot, and then go to them and tell them that you have a bushing kit interest and you can help them market it by sponership.

OR

you get a lot of names of people that are or would be interested in the bushing kit when they come out and give it to prothane or energy suspensions

i once wrote in a thread a while back, it's funny when people at first say they want something, and then a company comes a long and develop's it, but then they back out. that's why i've stopped doing this kind of thing. the only thing i suggest is to have people email sales departments of companies infforming them of the demand for a part that isn't made by them. and then letting the company make the decision. not to ssay that if you requested it beerknurd that you wouldn't buy it. i'm just referring to a lot of other people out there.

recent situation: look at what happened when people said they liked the sema kit, onderground came along and said they'd make it, but then everyone chickened out. lot of people that are all talk, but no show.

I already sent them EMs. Also just sent them one now for custom poly-bushings for the sways. I called them last week and they said that they do have a poly-bushing kit for our car but it is universal. I agree with many other that feel that a universal is not good enough for our cars.
