Eibach prokit springs group buy?
I saw the cr kiwami group buy and im just wondering if anyone is interested in a groupbuy for springs. Personally i prefer to get suspension mods first then wheels to see how the car sits.
Anyone in Sydney NSW interested? and anyone know of any good / cheap sellers of Eibach's |

Id be interested in a Tein group buy depending on price as 2300 is a complete rip off.

RRP for Tein Flex is 181,650 yen and that's around $2,270. obviously you don't pay RRP in Japan but factor in shipping and potential duty/GST then the price will be close anyway. i personally think it's overpriced what what it is. |

Oh really, I was searching the other day and thought I saw 1800 but it was a quick browse so perhaps I was looking at Street Advance. I agree 2300 is a bit more than I expected. Im also looking into the RSR i sport but I think they are similarly priced...

it is retailed 173000 yen + 5% tax in japan which is about $2300 in aussie dollar to consider fulcrum need to ship this over, pay for gst that is at 10% and duty that is another 5% plus they got overheads, i would say their price is competitive for an aussie based company. yes if you get from yahoo japan and ship it direct without paying gst and duty etc, yes you would get it cheaper i bet. but then there is an element of getting caught and things got damaged and you got to cop it yourself. i couldnt match fulcrum price just because my discount is no where as great as what they are getting from tein. i would consider a rip off was 10 years ago when greddy turbo timer was selling as much as $250.00 when it is only retailed in japan for about $120.00, now thats a rip off!! but speak to fulcrum and see what they can do aussie based company like fulcrum are dying breed to be honest. only a handful survives since the internet revolution. |

Street Advance is around $1.4k. RSR Sport I needs to be imported and costs around USD $2k shipped but might be hit with duty + GST. |

@JDM Concept yeah i retract my statement mate. I think I was looking at the wrong model.
Nardi: so the RSRs come from the states? |

the price is $2,759 inc GST. delivered/pick up at your local KW dealer. also got a quote from Evasive Motorsport from USA (forum vendor) and they want USD$2,400 shipped + potential duty and GST. if there is enough interest, i might enquire with EVL about possible group buy. thanks EDIT: i know KW's price is not cheap but after 2 sets of Tein in my previous cars, i want to try something non Japanese as i had good experience with my friend's S3 with KW V3. KW is a German brand and it is partner with many motorsport teams around the world. It is also a supplier of Greddy FRS Formula Drift team. it's facility includes a 7-post rig which is a special suspension equipment that are used by F1 teams and major car manufacturers. i doubt many aftermarket suspension brands have excess to these kind of state of the art equipment. http://www.kw-suspensions.eu/int/kw_7post_test_dyno.php |
