October 17, 20178 yr I've got EJ backing plates, but no L series versions. Having some troubles lining up holes after taking my measurements... My aim was to make a template for people to properly align the holes, etc. But I think it might be better doing it off the car directly.
October 18, 20178 yr I just received my hubs from dfoyl, and I'm extremely happy, they look OEM. Thanks again, excellent job, much appreciated.
December 4, 20178 yr Would anyone be interested in a run of hubs that are STI patterned? 5x114.3 instead of 5x100?
January 5, 20188 yr Author Yes, and in fact they have just been finished (I was able to persuade my ex co-worker to help me as I ended up with a single spare hub, so they made 21 to complete the set). These have EJ stud sizes (I hope - I'm waiting on them to be shipped from Taiwan to AUS). At this stage 4 sets are allocated locally, another 2 sets are earmarked for a member in Belgium who missed out last time, and the rest (5 sets) are available.
June 26, 20187 yr Author I will have 4-5 sets left from the final batch in the next few weeks, one set is already in the US and the rest are on the water to Australia.
September 27, 20187 yr Author Just to let anyone interested know, yes there are still about 3 sets left from the last batch. The supplier made them to suit XT6 studs again, so I am waiting on Summit to send them across (Rockauto don't appear to offer the right studs any longer, and their cross-reference are for standard EA studs...grr).

I'll probably be interested in a set, as well as the drawings for the part!
September 28, 20187 yr Author Never had any luck with the updated drawings from the manufacturer. With the move-on of myself from the business (over a year ago), the colleague in Taiwan who has also moved on to another company back in June, and his contact also moved on (March-ish) all the supply chain contacts are now gone. This last set (10 pairs, of which 4 pairs were pre-sold, and I have I think 3 local (AUS) parties interested, took months to get here (batch was finished in April, shipped 7th May, arrived 2 weeks ago, and were plated last week before I found the holes undersize)... Per earlier shipments, it will be far cheaper to ship any US sets together as individually would be just crazy expensive. I wouldn't ship those with studs as it costs me $$ to get them shipped out here in the first place (more for the shipping than the studs themselves).

Heck, I'll buy any remaining sets that you have, shoot me the total.
September 29, 20187 yr Author Ok, I'll let you know. I may have a plan B for shipping, heading to Japan next week and it might be cheaper to ship from there but I'll have to check my luggage allowance...
October 14, 20187 yr Author I should still have a set left. At the moment I'm waiting on my XT6 studs to arrive, and then sending out sets to the guys who put down a deposit months ago when they shipped out of Taiwan. Once they are all done I'll do a final count on what I have left over.
October 15, 20187 yr cool hope there is a pair for me. i sent you a pm so you can send me some more details thanks Geoff
November 5, 20187 yr Author I am just waiting on payment from one buyer on here, and interest from others previously committed (as usual, the majority of FB members who were interested - and were the ones that made me decide to run this last batch - have now gone very quiet). I personally have 5 sets left which have provisional names, but no payment. If any are left over you have first option (carfreak85)...
February 19, 20206 yr Hey there. I know I'm late to this game, but I would love a set of xt6 rear hubs in 5x100. Any leads?
