yes, on people that want seperates, these ten sets need to be sold as sets unless the two of you agree to split a set which I think then could be arranged. anyways you two that want seperates if you both commit I probably could split a set for you.
On the S14 ones , damn I feel so bad about that. We tried like 3 or 4 times to get the guys to do them right, unfortunately we are here and they are there. Seeing as S14's never got imported there they have no car to reference from. They have to go on what we tell them and then send stuff to us.
I will asks again for the sake of the s14 guys and I could probably arrange a special buy for the fronts for the S14 owners . Thats about the best I can do for s14's at this time again I am sorry I would love to be able to tell you guys we have complete s14 sets.

Just send them a cusco bar or something. Tell them to build it to that spec and be quiet about it hehe. Man this groupbuy came out when? Jun or July? It took forever, now I got the cusco CF front and alum rears already. Burnt a huge hole in my pocket.

they HAVE to be the same, same welds, same nuts n bolts, just a diff color.
probably should buy them on ebay, they're cheaper, unless d-freaq wants to lower his prices.

02-04-2005, 09:45 PM
ok as far as that ebay auction goes that was one auction. I have 3 sets left of the current batch and it looks like I will pick up another batch as soon as those are called for . The price I have on them is very fair and seeing how many have sold already I don't see a reason for lowering the price.

These fit S13SR fine.
Was talking to Dave and I put my order for mine, but I forgot to first ask if they fit a S14SR in a S13. Hopefully they do, but he's going to double check with me tomorrow morning.

Dr. this is the second round of a group buy I have done on these strut braces if you search in the group buy forum you will see that the first ten sets flew out the door and people liked them very much. there are people all over this forum running these braces. if you follow this particular group buy thread you will some of the previous buyers have already spoken up in this thread how they have them and like them.

I can sell the front bars seperately for $80 each because it means having to break a set up. The front would work fine on your s14.

well I own s13's but I have seen and my buddy has one of the strut braces on his s14 and there seems to be no problem with them. It has been on his car for over 8 months now. It was one of the old blue colored end bars before they switched over to the Gold ends.
silvia425
02-13-2005, 11:05 PM
How many more s14 front strut bars do you have? Lets just say if they do not work. Is there a return policy? Sorry I've never done one of these GB's before. So I'm pretty new to this kinda stuff.
alemanyS13
02-14-2005, 07:14 PM
Yo driftfreaq...Whats the deal on the Strut Bars? Have you sent them out yet?
I wonder if anybody has gotten theirs yet?

02-14-2005, 08:28 PM
Yo alemany they are in the process of going out. I have sold a lot of things here and I always ship so relax.
As far as S14 strut braces go at this time my supplier does not want me to break apart the sets so until we get something worked out for s14's thats the way it is.
WHAT IS A GROUP BUY!
Remember people this a group buy i.e. meaning that unless I state its a open group buy i.e. purchase immediately ship immediately it goes by standard group buy rules.
Which are : In a group buy a group of people get together and buy a quanity of a certian item supplied by a manufacturer or distributor. In these situations the group buy cannot go through until a stated amount of people have bought into the group at which point the product can be purchased and shipped.
Until that time the people that are sending money in for the group buy have to wait till there is the right number.
In this particular group buy there has been a lot of interest but people have been very slow on getting there money in . I did just in fact receive enough to purchase and start shipping late last week. Yes I said earlier only because people had commited but I had not received there money.
So we are now in the process of packing and shipping stuff and its going out priority mail so you all will see it pretty damn quick from now no matter where you live.
peace , dave

ummm... the one ending in 9358 is mine...... and I am NOT in walnut, that must be where drift freaq is. I guess they were sent to him and then he would have to send it to me now, I live in the bay area, and the shipping doesnt exactly make sense. oh well... at least I know my bars are at least somewhere..... but it would be best if they were here, with me........
