Spohn Group purchase?

I am in the need of some suspension parts so I am going to put this out here. I plan on buying Lower control arms(rear), a torque arm, relocating brackets, and subframe connectors, all from Spohn. If anyone is SERIOUSLY interested in purchasing these items let me know. Once we get all the names and the amount of people interested I'll contact Spohn and see if it can happen. Do Not reply if you are not 100% interested because I don't want to waste mine or Spohn's time. Thanks.

It won't happen. Check his website, I think it even says on there he doesn't do them much if at all. He is busy enough as it is w/o a group purchase and his products are already cheap enough that he couldn't take much of another cut to give you a discount. They are dirt cheap as it is IMO, compared to other companies.

His prices are definately awesome, but I figured, just like in the wholesale world, package deals are very appealing to a retailer.

Yep, not gonna happen. I try to keep my prices aggressive as it is, but that isn't the main reason (money) that we rarely, if ever do them. The reason is labor. We're two guys here, and we're neck deep in work. A big GP just buries us and we get behind, and I don't want that

Just as an example, from the time we start making the parts until the box is ready to ship, one torque arm kit is right around 5 hours labor.

Thanks for the interest though!

Steve

Interesting how 2 guys can turn out a great and reasonably priced product with lightening fast shipping. I couldn't get SLP to ship me an exhaust they had in stock in less than 5 days ( to ship not deliver). I had to drive from queens to Toms River NJ to get it when i needed it. I've seen relocating brackets for 2x what you guys sell them for. I can't wait to get my tax return, i'm sending a chunk of it to you guys.
