Group buy request: Megan coilovers

Hoping a vendor will do a group buy for Megan Coilovers around $750 shipped. I think there would be a lot of interest, but let's see.

I am down for a set.

Any vendors willing to do it? What would minimum order size need to bee?

There's a company in California advertising in Craigslist at orange county. Blast I spoke to them they were selling for around $750. Might want to see if they will ship at that price.

I've got a set of Megans sitting in my office and they look really nice. Another poster was trying to buy some and was told they are all on back order now. I'm stuck on my install because my h-sport rear camber links are on BO so I have to wait. Darn it. Everyone must be ordering at the same time.
I don't track my car so Megans should be OK plus they (for my 07 MCS) anyway, they come with camber plates on the fronts which is cool and a damper on each plus looks to be an easy height adjustment after installed.

Yeah I want Megan's for the adjustable camber plate to fix and protect my strut towers, give me the damper adjustment and lower my car about an inch.

Got to be a vendor that can get them and make a killing!!

I was thinking just an inch also but do you think it'd be enough with the 16" wheels I have or should I go 1 1/2 inch?
What size are your wheels.

By the way, I got mine from WayMotorWorks.com

Ultimately depends on the look you want. Nice thing is you get to dial it in with your coils.
