Any interest in a Group Buy?

[JedzE36/5]

sorry to resurect this thread... but do you happen to sell adjustable end links? i have had the rears on full stiff since i installed them and months later i have broken 1 of my rear end links.

BIG BUMP.

It turns out, he's got at least 5 of the full sets of sways, and 5 of the individual fronts available for shipping right away. Evidently, this group buy, when we did it before, woke the distributors up to the market and they've started stocking for us!

I'm still working on updated pricing, but it should be close to what it was before.

If you folks are interested, let me know. These sways are one of the best things you can do for the handling of your car. I personally run the very same front bar (from this very same group buy).

Thanks!

Okay, pricing is $320 shipped to the lower 48 for the full set (front and rear), and $180 shipped for the front bar only.

I've spoken offline to two different people about sways, so assuming they are in (now that I have pricing), I really only need 1 more person to make it happen!

Let me know ASAP! Get your Holiday shopping done early! LOL

The online store will be updated tonight to reflect the new information.

Hi guys!

I have risen from the ashes (actually, Gimp woke me up). My distributor has confirmed that the bars are in stock at Eibach, but can not verify quantity. He estimates at least 5 of each (generally what manufacturers will have as a minimum to show "in stock"). As before, this price includes shipping to the lower 48.

Jed, if you have not found end links yet, let me know who makes them and I'll cross ref with my product lines. I've already checked Whiteline and Eibach and those are a no-go, but I'll look at Hotchkis, GC, and a few others in a bit.

What sizes are the bars?

[gimp]

The front and rear bars are adjustable:

The front is 28mm and the rear is <del>19mm</del> 21mm. The kit includes all hardware and bushings.

EDIT - I stand corrected. Maybe I should get a rear bar... LOL

[LudicrouSpeed]

28/21 for front and rear, respectively.

Are you attending school at UMCP?

[spidertri]

How many adjustment points do they have?


Yeah, I'm going to UMD.

Ah, you should hook up with CollegeParkTuning (if you haven't already) - that's the SGA sanctioned car enthusiast club. I used to be the club's advisor from 05 until just last month or so. They have a big meet every spring, if you haven't been to one yet.

Hah, SNAFU - apparently, this set has been discontinued. We were looking at the wrong application on Eibach's site, and Gimp and I realized this after we both gave conflicting rear bar sizes. The original GB was for 2044.320 and the pn in stock is 2021.320 (for the 318i).

Sorry guys!

[gimp]

(I think I know the answer, but) Are front bars still available?

Yeah, I went to the meet last spring. It was awesome, I will definitely look into it, I didn't realize it was a club.

Too bad about the bars, at least my money will stay in my pocket for a little while longer.

Even without the rear bar, the front (which is still available) makes a huge difference.

I run the very same front bar, and the stock sport rear bar. It was good enough for a 6th place PAX at the last BMW autocross event. Big front bar and stock/no rear bar is actually the most preferred setup.

Dammit gimp, you just want me to have no money don't you.

LOL... JOIN ME!!!

Don't worry, I don't get any of your money, no matter how hard I try.

I really do have to recommend this to everyone. Camber loss up front is the huge enemy of BMW handling, and a big front sway prevents that. Just a front bar alone makes the car so much more neutral.
