this idea hit me this morning.
i know i need a cage, sub frame connectors, th-350 crossmember, and some other things..

i know a few friends of mine are looking for a cage and subframes for sure.

is it possible that we can get a group purchase together? post here if your interested.

www.spohn.net

 

Hey, I might just be interested in what your trying to set up, once you get some pricing and specifics, be sure to let me know......navy084@yahoo.com

 

cmon people, i thought there would be a hell of alot more interest than this!!!!

 

I'm interested in SFCs. Too bad he doesn't sell STBs...

 

i need to order from spohn...

tubular a arms for coil overs
front coil over kit
billet strut mounts
mounting hardware

 

I am looking to buy pretty much entire suspension along with few other parts.

I was actually going to call them in the next few days and place an order. How much do you think you'll be able to save with this GP because I am looking at 3.5 grand here.

 

i need a panhard bar and lower control arms. i just bought a torque arm from spohn which looks awesome. so i would be intersted in the other parts

 

i have no idea on how much we'd save. i havent even talked with them yet. i just wanted to know if there was any interest for a GP here.

now that i see there is, we need to talk it to the next step and find out what we can get.

 

I need a panhard bar also

 

count me in.............

 

I'd be interested in a panhard bar also.

Normally in the past when we talked about a Spohn GP there wasn't much savings. This is due to the fact Steve puts his parts out there in high quality at low prices compared to the rest of the market.

 

I would be in. Need more details like what is going to be included in this thing, how many needed, ect. Price is not that big of a deal b/c like mentioned above, for the price these are already top notch parts. I would be up for almost anything since I have decided against getting wheels for the summer and just doing the suspension.

 

ive got an 87 and im lookin for every suspension item yhey have and a cage... lets find out how big the savings is an do it

 

Im looking for a torque arm.

 

I need some SFC for my 86, let me know how the savings work out

 

I'm interested in SFC for a convertible

 

I want to purchase one of there soon to be out K-members. So count me in for what ever discount we can get.

 

The way these things usually work out is if people put down a deposit so we know they are serious. Just a thought since it is MY belief that 50-75% of us will back out. Hope I am wrong though, but I'm just speaking from experience.

 

Im up for it, i need to order some stuff from them in the future anyway.

 

Sent an email out to Steve. Hopefully he'll drop by and help guide the madness.

 

I still need... The rest I alrdy have

Billet strut mounts
a-arms and kmember if i can use them with air ride
Strut tower bar if he ever makes one
front end rebuild kit
tie rod adjusters
bilsteins

 

Got a reply back:

We won't be doing any GP's in the near future. We're already working 65 hour weeks, a GP would be suicide this time of year!

Steve

 

Well hey, atleast he was honest and not crude like most companies who either A) Don't get back to you or B)Give you some BS excuse with an attitude. In the past I know he has mentioned on the boards to give them a call if you will be making multiple purchases at once and he would be willing to work with you on the price. Nice try on this though.

 

Yep. I talked to Steve also because I had few items to buy and he told me the same thing. The way I see it, they have no reason to do GP's and try to do more business when they are barely keeping up as it is. And with the demand for their stuff, I can't blame them.

This is my chrismas in [whatever month the stuff get's here] list (yeah, I just want to brag. Been saving up last 8 months):

Adjustable Torque Arm with T56 Crossmember and ds loop
front a-arm mounting hardware kit
Front coil over kit
Front End Rebuild Kit
Front/Rear sway bar set
LCA mounting hardware kit
LCA Relocation Bracket
Lower Control Arm (Adjst. poly/bearing ends)

poly transmission mount
Rear coil over kit
Steering brace (wonderbar)
Strut mount retainers
Subframe Connectors
torque arm rear mounting hardware kit
tubular a-arms w/bushings (delrin)

I was hoping to get a little discount myself, but hey... you get what you pay for. Now can't wait for all this stuff to get here.

so they are not offering a discount for group purchase? and if so will they provide a price list???

 

You are correct, no GP for now. Like I said, if you will be purchasing a lot at the same time, it will not hurt to ask if they can put a "package" deal together for you. Maybe even knock off shipping which would help out a great deal as it would cost a lot just to ship most of these items. I don't know though for sure, you would have to ask.

 

nope, could even get that

 

what about another company???

 

That's simple, why? You pay for what you get. He is one of the best manufacturers for our cars. I don't see why you couldn't start up another thread trying to get BMR, Hotchkis, or even eldelbrock to start a GB though.

 

I'm a Spohn reseller if anybodys interested? No, I'm not an official business, but I do have a dealer account with them.

 

So are your prices better or the same? If they are the same I am sure 98% of everyone will purchase directly from Spohn themselves. Let us know. Thanks

 

Well I was about to sell at lower prices because I get them at wholesale price of course. Spohn will not allow me to undersell. Essentially they have a minimum retail that everybody has to charge and thats what you see on they're site. What I could do is have free shipping if anybody wants.

edit: If anybody wants to know about my credibility just ask
Fast_25th or VILeninDM. I'm currently selling more parts off my 82 Berlinetta and will have more feedback sources soon.

 

Shoot, I'm game. How much of a discount are we talking?

 

Spohn has decided not to do a GP at this time. So, following Forum Rules we can now take the GP to other makers or dealers. Now, read the post right above yours.

 

I like Spohn and I like his stuff.

He also has always taken care of me on any issues that I have had. I've realistically spent 2-3k with him at this point in time and I still have 2 more f-bodies to go lol

GP on his own stuff I havent seen that much, he has but since it is handmade, he doesnt do it often.

He will run awesome GP's on other product he carries though. I remember when we did the infamous SLP header GP thru him :-)

HE sold a couple sets you could say lol

later
Jeremy

 

any chance of a GP now? .... a year later.

 

spohn never does gps. Do some research and youll find that out.

sucks yes.
