St Pete, can you find out what the difference is for sure from your supplier? I will doing install myself, so the cost isn't an issue, but if I've got to choose one or the other, then I need to think things through a little. Also, see if there might be a way to make one work on the other as a temporary thing- i.e. make the koni style work on the stock struts.
Thanks, Rick

He wasn't trying to burn you Jeremy he was just saying that he doesn't know you well and giving you a large sum of money is one hell of a risk to take when we can't verify that you're trustworthy. That's not to say you're not, you're probably a really trustworhty guy but we are hesitant because others have been burned in group buys by people that were less than moral. If you could give us a little more background as to how you are getting the deal you are getting and some way to contact you with issues, I'm sure that people will understand a little more. Please try to look at it from our view, would you give 2k-4k to someone you have no background on? So try not to take offense to what we are discussing we are just trying to figure out how to go about this situation, it is not a personal attack on you by any means Can you let us where you are getting such a good deal from? How would we be guaranteed that we will get our product? Can you give us a secure way to pay you or can you suggest a more secure way to go about this? If none of these questions can be answered I think you'll be hard pressed to find ten guys on this site to give you $300 a piece, I know I won't run into this situation unless a few of my fears are quelled. So step up to bat here Jeremy, give us a little reassurance and I guarantee you we will be all over this!

misfit! no harm or offense intended. if you read my post again, you'll see that nowhere did i ever say anything deragatory or offensive. i apologize if you took it that way. as krafty stated, you need to take our positions. 10 people giving $300 each ($3000) to someone none of us have ever met to deliver a product at an unbelievable price....seems almost too good to be true. right? as krafty also stated, if you can provide us with some guarantees, details - company who will be providing, how it will be shipped, who we contact for problems, how we pay, etc. etc. maybe we would be more inclined to trust you. no intentions to bad mouth you. i hope you understand. i was just trying to see what the 10-14 others involved in this group buy felt about this proposal. this price is difficult to comprehend given the fact that i have been in contact with someone very closely associated with ground control AND a ground control rep who has said as of 6pm today that "$340 is THE LOWEST i can go for 20 people."

All of you email me with ANY questions. I will give everyone my Address and phone number so that you can get ahold of me after you send the money I just need to know how many for sure, so I can let the shop know. I was told not to tell the shop name due to the deal he was giving, took me an hour to get it, we are getting this deal at the shops price.. So common lets take advantage of this, it wont be for about 2 or 3 weeks before I ask you all to send money orders and then I walk in and give him the cash, I will let you all know as I receive them by email.. You can all trust me I wont burn you I promise, you can kill me for all I care

cougar group buy: pros: 1. great price! cons: 1) supposedly the price i'm (SVT ST PETE) getting is pretty freakin good 2) $299 is a ridiculously low amount for ground controls 3) i dont know him 4) the guy is a fairly new member of neco 5) there are also several neco members who don't think this deal is quite right...: mortis (NECO Administrator): Buyers beware. If it sound to good to be true... puckpuck: "299$ is pretty damn low......... i would like to know exactly HOW you plan on getting that price?" anonymous neco member"...steer clear of this..." my deal: 1) spoke to a gc rep and he says this is the best deal possible2) i've been here in ceg for awhile 3) most of you guys know me/people can vouch for me 4) ups shipping 4b) local guys - don't need to pay shipping, we can have a "delivery meet"  5) working w/ a local shop i trust - been going/buying there for over 5 years 6) local guys i'm not knocking this guy. maybe he's legit, maybe he's not. if you want to go with the cougar guy, go for it. i feel that i would prefer to do the group buy, pay $350/$360 + shipping for peace of mind/trust/etc. therefore... i am going to continue my group buy. please let me know if decide to drop out. if we split this into 2 group buys, both suffer. just want you guys to have all the info...
