Update 11/09/17
It’s been a while since I have posted but I have been really busy working ot, Halloween, and organizing my life.. Spent hours taking off literally every suspension part I can find (sorry for limited photos) . I have to send what I can to stm to get bushings pressed in since I don’t have the time nor do I wanna buy a press for the house. Driveshaft shop rear axles came in which I’m stoked about!! I even made time to trade in my Audi A4 for a 2018 WRX (darkside, I know).. I probably will not post anymore pictures till after January 1st .. Stop back

^ I was thinking the same thing...I went to buy their 20ton unit but they were out of stock and ended up with the 12ton for like $100. I've done so many bushings at this point for my car friends vehicles as well as family. Was even able to free up a seized axle from the hub. I couldnt imagine not having a press now as it can be a very useful tool to have.
I can understand not wanting to go through the effort of actually pressing them out but with the right dies (impact sockets, ball joint tools spare pipe and whatever else you have laying around) the process is pretty simple. Sometimes setup take a little bit and other times you're pressing out and pressing in new bushings in under a minute per.
Of course you're welcome to spend your money however you feel appropriate but it seems like you're a pretty hands on guy so I too was surprised to read that.
Nonetheless, keep up the good work!
