Default Prodrive Springs

Given the two or three threads currently running, where the concensus seems to be Prodrive springs are the way to go, is there anyone here that might be able to set up a group buy to get them a little cheaper, or even a company prepared to supply, fit and set geometry if they get a guaranteed number of orders???
I'm in North Hampshire, so anywhere South or Midlands would be fine by me.
Anyone that can help???

Thumbs up

Yep if it's an all in deal and good price I'm in - might be worth checking out the PFF7 GB as there was talk on there about discounting springs? Maybe we need a 'Prodrive' GB - any prodrive bits supplied and fitted at a special price?

BTW I'm in North Hants also so prepared to drive a bit (LOL, like any excuse!)

The only problem that we are going to have with this group buy is that the 'official' Prodrive springs are only available from Subaru dealers, although they are manufactured by Eibach.

We will be able to get a much better deal if we go for aftermarket Eibach springs.

Just wanted to point that out.

Cheers

Default ***PRICE UPDATE***

Ok here goes:

This is a price based on a 2003 STI and providing that we can get at least ten definate orders.

These springs are the genuine prodrive items that you will get from any Subaru dealer.

£191.25 inc vat which is a 15% discount on the original price.

Who else is interested?

Is the same discount available across the board? The WRX (2000-2003) and MY02 STi are listed as £195 inc VAT (discounted £165.75) though CHECK your models as there are diff part numbers for each

Is there anything they can do regards fitting/alignment costs? (or do we collectively approach an independant)

If they fit, where are they (e.g how far are we all going to travel)

Can they do anymore on price if we do get 10? (can we push for 20%?)

It is my understanding that a 15% discount is available across the board Trashman, and yes they can offer fitting at an extra cost.

They are in the London area so I am not sure if this is any good for you?

As for the price, if I have ten definates I don't have a problem with pushing for a 20% discount.

Regards

Any more for this group buy?

If the four definates are happy to go ahead I will try and get a discount from Subaru for just four sets, the price may be slightly more though.

1.) duSTI (03 STI)
2.) BAH (03 STI)
3.) sti lad (03 STI)
4.) Trashman (02 STI)

Please add your name to the list if you are interested.

Jim
