Did you get yours yet?
No, due to some kind of mix-up, mine won't arrive til the end of the month... But I now know, thanks to you, that they will be worth the wait...

I know how it is waiting for Eibach to make the parts and send them out. One time I ordered a set of sways for my 540 and after a couple of months of talking to the local vedor I purchased from, he said I could just order something else and he would cancel my sway bar order. I did just that and got a nice Strong-Strut bar that still serves me today.

Sounds like I need to scrape and save some cash for this GB too, you guys are getting me interested in this. Does it matter what ti you have? Mine is a base model, circa 4/1/96.

Aloha,

I think this group buy is over. I already got mine and he is still waiting for his. It was supposed to be in groups of 3, but they let us get ours since no one else wanted a set and ended it.

Thanks for the info Viper, at this point, just reading what everyone here is posting about the improved results I am going to do this upgrade regardless of a GB or not.

If I can get in one one then that's great, but not necessary. I'm kinda used to paying higher prices on items anyway since they need to travel 2300 miles west of LA to 96816.

Wolfe Update: Still waiting on Eibach, and your goodies will ship once the set ships to you.

Kaliimc: I have shipped parts to Hawaii before (two WRX STI Limited spoilers), and I believe that only set me back about $40 in total shipping (from Maryland). The swaybars would leave from California, so I can check on shipping if you would like. I will adjust the price for you to compensate for the estimated shipping costs (my distributor uses both UPS and FedEx). I have no problems shipping to HI and can still give you reasonable prices. Don't be bashful.

everyone else: I have had a few people contact me about front bars to remain legal for GS. If enough interest can be generated, I will be more than happy to do another GB for the fronts only. Just let me know or start another thread. This isn't just for bars and stuff. I can get nearly anything you might need - Gimp, shut up about your plug wires!

I will have to see how funds are doing, but I would definately be interested in a set in the future if you do another group buy. Just pm me if you do, I don't check in here as much as I used to.

How far in the future? We're on hold for Eibach until the end of this month at the earliest.

Let me check on stocking levels before anyone places another order. We're supposed to have an update from Eibach by the end of this month. I will still honor the price of $290 to the lower 48.

Sorry, no Bilsteins - but I can get KW if you feel like spending your mortgage payment for the month.

If you want the full blown coilovers that also massage you and bring you drinks when you walk in the door!
