GTI Rear Swaybar Group Buy

[shaneth]

Ok as some of you may have seen i in the other thread That we have the option of a group Buy. Atm i am being offered $190 for the adjustable bar plus $20 shipping
to all major cities and suburbs australia wide.This may go down depending on the amount we get. Now a few have already expressed interest and i will thransfer them onto the list below. If you are definitely wanting one just let us know and ill add you to the list. Now i was thinking oif giving everyone on here 2 weeks to figure out if they want one or not. (i hope this is fair, if not pm me any problems.) I am going to get in contact with the guy over the weekend and get details off him for things like payment etc etc. If oyu have any questions let me know.

Definites:-

[FL00DY]

Could I possibly be put down as a Maybe. I'm trying to get one before Friday next week as I might still go to that track day. If by Thursday night I still can't get one then I'll be a definite.

shaneth thanks very much for organising this, your a champ.

[mitch_gti]

Good idea guys ! :)

Hope you enjoy the bars, they are fantastic !!! rear one is great

[PoloGTi]

Sorry guys ordered my front and rear about 2 days ago missed out but hey its only $23 cheaper o well. good work setting the buy up tho.

[brumue]

As above, thankyou Shaneth for taking your time to organise this.

I am def still keen for one of these.

If there are those that cannot make up their minds it two weeks ... further time will probably not help. (IMHO)

[FL00DY]

Hi Shane. Well I've haven't had any luck with getting my Sway bar for the tracy day tomorrow :(

So please put me back on the Definites list. Whilst trying to get my Sway bar, I was told that Whiteline have closed whilst moving. I wasn't told how long for but it may put a delay on getting this done.

Cheers
Paul

[Glide_GTI]

oh why not... I'll take one

[shaneth]

Ok so there is a little change in the program. I have been talking to Brad the suplier of the Swaybar. He said to get any more of a discount we need 20 or more people, which by the repsonse sofar i cant see us doing. So we can do this one of two ways, 1. leave it as is. 2. do an order for the 6 of us on monday or early next week and then we could do another order later on. Whats your thoughts polo drivers.

Do we still get a discount with fewer? If so, I say go now (and it'll open an avenue for future purchases). If not ... I still say go (don't really want to wait) and the difference is what ... $30?

Dave

PS. Thanks for organising this Shane.

[shaneth]

Davemack the price above still stands. And thats the only discount we will get. To me saving $30 is still saving $30.

[beefa]

Sounds good to me.

[brumue]

Yeah thats fine with me too.

If anyone in Syd wants to save on postage maybe we could get them sent to 1 address and then pickup from there?

[beefa]

That works even better for me

[Flaps]

I'm down for this.

Sydney guys - We could get it shipped to Seb's maybe?

[shaneth]

could someone organise where you want it shipped to and who is getting it shiped there by pm and let me know so i can find out the final price. Also if queenslanders want to do this let me know via pm and we can work something out also.

[FL00DY]

Shane where do we think they'll ship them from? If it's Minto I can pick up the Sydney/NSW buyers, save some shipping.

[shaneth]

hmmm. he isnt online but from what i can gather Adelaide

[beefa]

Floody,

I rang them a couple weeks back and pretty sure they have moved from Minto. I asked if I could pick up from there and told definately no.

Shaneth, these wouldn't happen to fit a Golf IV GTI would they?

[brumue]

OK, well to add another option the bars can be sent to my place. Im in Chatswood, dont know how central that is to the other members. Pickup would be ok most week nights & on the weekend.

[beefa]

I work at St Leonards, Chatswood works for me.

[Flaps]

I work in North Ryde so Chatswood is fine for me. I know Glide is on the northern beaches so should be ok for him too.

[Glide_GTI]

I work in North Ryde so Chatswood is fine for me. I know Glide is on the northern beaches so should be ok for him too.

yep all good with me mate

[shaneth]

Ok guys, i have been told that you really arent going to save that much by sending them to one place. He is emailing me with the full explanation so i can post it up but it has to do with the weight. He has worked it out and ill post it up asap.

[shaneth]

With the price i have given you of $190 , plus the freight, is still $30 cheaper than the other bloke got. Work that out over the 8 swaybars , thats a $240 saving for you guys. The bar $240 saving for you guys , is losing me $240 in profit , but i don't care whatsoever , because i try to help forum members out. . and as i told you , my parts sales are not my bread and butter , so really i don't care what i sell them for. Plus you don't have do go anywhere or worry about anything , as it is just couriered to your front doors. So the most i can really send as one consignment is 2 swaybars , but the saving only works out to be about 6 bucks. So to send them to everyones individual addresses , works out alot easier for everyone , saves driving and wasting fuel just to go and pick their bar up.

Does this make sense to everyone. Tomorrow ill PM everyone on my list with payment details etc.

[Glide_GTI]

guess so...

could I get mine delivered to your place anyway? Im in the process of moving house, not sure which place im gonna be in when it arrives, and usually nobody at home during the day :?

[FL00DY]

Yeh Shane that sounds fine. I'll have mine delivered to my work. So whats the final price?

This guy is a champ, find out what he drinks and we should buy him a case :D

[shaneth]

ill pm everyone the details now it will have final price etc.

edit - ok thats done, if you want a swaybar and didnt recieve a pm, pm me and ill send it to you.

[Flaps]

Shaneth

Are the RSB's in stock? What's the turn around from payment to delivery?

[shaneth]

Ive been told 10 days to 2 weeks.

[brumue]

ok, shaneth that is all fine with me.

I have just transferred the money as described in ya PM & emailed Brad etc.

[DaveMack]

Brad has my dosh and details too.

Dave

[shaneth]

OK everyone thank you for your quick response in paying, 2 people have recieved pm's about not paying (this doesnt affect the rest of us.) and if oyu didnt recieve a pm then brad has your money and has processed your order. For the two who havent been able to pay for very legitamite reasons. Thats fine when he recieves your money he will order it straight away. Only those who are on the list can get it at this price, unless im asked to negotiate again. For all those who missed out pm me if you want one and ill see what i can do.

[awestonvp]

almost dont want to say this, but today I ordered RSB from Bursons for $150 inc GST delivered...

[shaneth]

well all i can say is that congrats on the purchase adn you must have done a good job to get it that low was the most people i know have been quoted over $200 without delivery.

[shaneth]

Was yours adjustable????

[awestonvp]

Yep, ordered the adjustable one. Maybe they got the price wrong, the Bursons guy got the price over the phone from Whiteline. Guess I'll find out in a week or so when it arrives...

[gtiono]

Yep, ordered the adjustable one. Maybe they got the price wrong, the Bursons guy got the price over the phone from Whiteline. Guess I'll find out in a week or so when it arrives...

I was quoted $195 (adjustable) and $175 (non adjustable) for mine from bursons.

I know bursons is making a big push to penetrate the NSW market so perhaps you got an extra special on some sort of anniversary day, although I'm inclined to think you got lucky with an inexperience sales rep who quoted the cost price? :???:

Either way, good buy. hope they keep the price for you.

how are you installing yours? anyone recommend a cheap workshop to get this installed in sydney? (I rather not try and do this myself just yet)

Go and see Seb (Bug_Racer) at Unit a6, 16a Amax Ave, Girraween. His the best VW mechanic in Sydney :D

[gtiono]

probably right, but best mechanics don't come cheap :-)
considering its just an RSB, wouldn't you want to save the challenging stuff for Seb? We don't want to dull down his brain do we?

[awestonvp]

I'm in Melb, I'll probably get my local mechanic to do it and get Volkspower to check it before my next track day.
By the way, anyone know what a half decent lap time is for Winton in a chipped Polo? i'm great in a straight line, but the corners get me every time...j: Just after a time to aim for.

[SoVeReIgN]

As asked earlier on in the thread - Do you know if these fit MK4 golfs /Audi A3s?

And if not - if your supplier can get them in?

[FL00DY]

It's easy enough for Seb to do in his sleep, he counts on those jobs to catch up on sleep :D

[PoloGTi]

i dout the sway bar would fit, the polo has a smaller wheel base than the golf/Audi.

[Timbo]

Stop being a slacker jono, it'll take you 45 mins max, and will give you that "I can do it" feeling :D

Plus, with the money you save, you can ..er... have a better takeaway for dinner :???:

[shaneth]

yes i can get my hands on mk4 golf gti bars. pm me your details and ill get a quote fir you.

[PoloGTi]

I put my rear bar in yesterday took about 50mins was an easy job. Parked the car with 2 wheels up on the gutter and others on the road and was just right to get easily under the rear of the car. Used the standered jack and just did it up enough under the shox to keep it in place while i took the bolt out and placed the new one in. Running the medium setting and it feels so much better than standered, front bar goes on next wed all going well.

hey, that's 45 minutes of missed cruising time around wisemen ferry and back ... and possibly another round , now that I got it flashed.

You gotta do these things right cause they can cause some severe wear and tear issues I would imagine.

My guess is the installation instructions will be written in ponkanese sign language (the defacto language of all supercheap/autobahn merchandise) anyway. Me no understand that stuff.

[DaveMack]

... since orders went in ... anyone got theirs yet?

I'll probably have to pay someone to put mine in too ... at least I've got a legitimate excuse :rolleyes: spinal damage ... can't get under cars.

Dave

[brumue]

Yeah, you're not the only one.

Still waiting for mine too.

I think i will take the diy approach and have a stab at installing it myself.
Doesn't look too advanced from the installation guide in that other thread.

[mitch_gti]

Guys, takes 30 minutes max to fit it.

Dont be lazy :P have a stab at it yourself.

make sure you have a nice solid hydro jack, a couple wheel chocks for the front wheels. couple car stands and your normal jack (you need a normal jack to push up on the shock mount to even out pressure so you can get the bolt out)

its very straightfoward.

DIY instructions = http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/instructs/Z362_BWR19.pdf

It does say that it needs to be installed at normal ride height.

So best to put the car up on ramps;)

[FL00DY]

So best to put the car up on ramps;)

That's why I posted it ;) I get why it needs to be at normal ride height, but seems some of you used a jack and not ramps ???

[Timbo]

You need to use a jack under the shock to keep it aligned

[DaveMack]

... all I've got is a jack - no ramps, no pit or anything that could even be used as one. I'll find some kindly soul who can help me. :D

Sorry Dave and everyone else, Just read the post. I am in constant contact with Brad and he is extremely sorry but he is still waiting on the bars. He was hoping they would turn up yesterday but didnt so hopefully tomorrow and then shipped straight away. IM extremely sorry for the delay. Ill keep you posted.

Hey Shane it's not your fault, you've done an awesome thing putting your hand up for organising a GB. Know one here expects you to take blame for the lateness of the bars when you didn't HAVE to put your hand up.

[shaneth]

I may be misunderstanding something here - but you got under a car supported by a widowmaker? :o

[Timbo]

No, he was using the jack to support the shocks, to keep the bolt-holes aligned.

[shaneth]

Ok guys and gals. Just talked to brad and he got the swaybars tonight and will have them out tomorrow. Later on tonight ill have the consignment notes for everyone. You should have them by friday but if not monday at the latest. You can also use the TNT site to track the con. note i will post up.

[DaveMack]

:D What a week ... APR, RSB & VWW sticker ... :D:D:D

Now all I have to do is find someone of greater mechanical ability than me that I can bribe to fit it (the RSB). After-all ... I'm about as great a mechanic as George Bush is a Statesman.

Dave

PS: Thanks for all your efforts getting these Shaneth.

[beefa]

Im hearing you mate... in one week the car has grown a GFB DV, Revo and now RSB.

Shaneth thanks for sorting this, much appreciated.

[brumue]

Status hasn't been updated on the site yet, but mine arrived half an hour ago.

Thankyou Shaneth & Brad.:)

Will prob install tomorrow - hope everyone enjoys their RSB's.

[Glide_GTI]

got mine, will be installed next week by derek and getting H&R cup kit done at the same time.. cant wait!

after that Im gonna need some new rubber, not sure what to go for yet, conti's are out.. I cant afford more punctures on sydneys crap roads
