H&R Coilover Group Buy Feeler

I posted this over in the Suspension forum but thought it would fit here too:

I have gotten a couple of PM's recently about my H&R coilovers in regards to where I got them and for what kind of price. I talked to my buddy and he is willing to get a group buy thing together if there is enough interest. Regular price will be significantly less than the list of $1250, but if we can get 5 or even 10 people involved the prices will get very good. Looking at $900 shipped if we get 10 people or $950 shipped if we get 5 people.

Who is interested?

This is not a thread for discussion of the merits/pro/con of coilovers or H&R's in particular. It is to gauge interest in getting a good price on them. If you are interested post here or PM me. If you feel you have comments about why to buy or why not to buy coilovers or H&R vs another brand start your own thread. I will ask the administrators to delete off topic posts.

Thanks!

Regular sets. RSS sets are much more $$ and are much stiffer, too stiff IMHO, for daily driver use.

You may not be aware of this, but per the NAM marketplace guidelines all group buys on NAM must be done with a NAM vendor.

Here's the relevant section:

Group buys - groups buys may be initiated by members of the site but the source of the product (vendor providing the product) must have some form of advertising agreement in place with NAM. We offer a host of flexible and cost-effective advertising and marketing services to support vendors. If you are interested in starting a group buy and have located a vendor that is not currently listed in the Vendor Directory, please have them use the Contact Us form to open discussions with the NAM Advertising and Sales team.
To run a group buy your friend would be looking most likely at a basic advertising package, which would not only allow him to conduct the group buy, but also directly interact with the members of the site and have things like banner advertising, vendor announcements access, and the ability to post as a vendor.

If you have any questions, just drop us an e-mail through the contact us link above.

Dave

Dave-
Thanks for the clear communication. To all those who have an interest this GB will be moving forward as it is through a NAM vendor.

its not so much that joker

its more like.... im feelin the desires for coilovers.. but im sure i'd be complaining if i got these, as they aint as good as i thought and need damper adjustment (cuze i do use the konis adjustment)

im looking long and hard at the tein setup too.. SS with EDFC.. but the money needed for it well... that's for when my current setup collapses
