Default *GROUP BUY*- Godspeed Subaru Impreza 335mm Brake Kit

Godspeed Subaru Impreza 335mm Brake Kit

I am currently trying to organize a group on the above-mentioned brake set up from Godspeed. This kit retails at £595 and Ian @ Godspeed has offered a group buy discount of 10% if we place an order for 5 or more of these kits at once. As things stand we have 2 definites (Myself and RB5Caterham) so I’m looking for a further 3 scoob owners to join in.

Timeframe: All going to plan I would be hoping to have this group buy done and dusted within 3-4 weeks max.

From what I can tell this kit offers the best middle ground between a full 4 pot AP brake upgrade at £1000+ and merely putting after market standard sized disks and pads back on. All I’ve heard so far about this set up has been positive.

If you require more details please look here:

http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk

2 good treads containing information regarding them:

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/showthread.php?t=299441
http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/showthread.php?t=301727

If your up for getting involved in this group buy drop me an e-mail at Cblair246@hotmail.com, stating whether your definitely up for it or just a maybe.

The sooner we get 5 people the sooner you’ll be able to get your kits fitted!

P.S If anyone has any further information they feel they can bring to this group buy please feel free to make a post.

Cheers,

Chris.

No you need at least 17" wheels , they are too big to fit under 16's

Ian,

Just a quick one, I was wondering what are the payment methods that you accept?

Cheers,

Chris.

Anyone esle?

These are going to be available with a good saving if we get a good number of people interested. Had some really positive feedback about the kit from a few board members who have already purchased.

Cheaper than the AP equivalent!!!!

Come on, you know you want to!!

Believe it still is, there seems to be now more than 5 people interested so perhaps we need to let it carry on for a few days?

BlairC what you think mate?

Everybody,

The general feeling I get is that most people are after their kits relatively soon. So my feelings on the matter are that we leave it open till Monday/Tuesday to allow people to get their finances sorted out and any other weekend scoobynetters to find the group buy. With the result of getting the kits hopefuly in time for fitting next weekend?

Anybody got any other feelings on the matter?

Cheers,

Chris.

Ian/Chris,

Does this mean I can send a cheque to Ian, er, like now?

I could do with my kit for next week, before the weekend.


I have let Chris know that I would like the grooved only with Mintex pads. No hoses or fluid required.
