Ideas for group buys

Hey all, since we just did a group buy on the upper strut bar what does everyone think about getting one done for the lower strut bar now?

Or if anyone has a good idea, I know damn someone started another never ending group buy idea thread, post your idea!!!!!

How about some slotted Brake rotors, or some Mintex or EBC brake pads? Everyone needs brakes pads at some point...you could get them now and have them for when you need them.

I all ready got a lower bar from H&R so I'm out on that one. But I am interested in a upgrade on brakes. Let me see what I can come up with on some brake deals.

Feel free to post your ideas and needs as well.

If the price is right on the front rotors I might be in.

I sent rich some info on front brembo cross drilled brake rotors and pagid performance pads. I can contact the place where I got mine, and find out if they will give us a better price. I got mine for $200 shipped! and they are in canada too (yeah for thomas!!). I will look into it & post it when I know. what about a rear lower sway bar? dave, did you get a front lower sway bar? what does that do?

Well I called parts4vws.com about the brake GB, and if we could get 10 people together the best they could do would be $10 off because their brake kits are already priced so low. So I think I might just et Mintex pads all around and wait on the rotors. Save some money for other mods that I've been waiting to do for a long time now

Same here. My stock breaks aren't going to cut it both for performance and now looks.

it does what the upper strut bar does except for the lower end of the car. Imaging a big H and the upper strut bar ties the top of the H to look like an block A;
the lower bar makes the unit look lik an 8 to make the system more rigid/stiff/solid for the twisties. I hope that makes sense.
