Group Buy Suggestions - CEG Archives

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

Hey guys,

Its been awhile since I've hosted a CEG Group Buy. Just thought I'd throw it open and see what you all needed. Let me know and we'll see if we can get something together. Thanks

How about H & R springs? My Eibach's didn't lower the car in the front as much as I wanted. I've been told that H & R's would lower the front more. Any thoughts on this? I'm thinking the H & R's in the front and the Eibach's in the rear. Then I'd have a set of front Eibach's and rear H & R's for sale to someone who didn't want a big drop for maybe $200. BTW, my struts are Bilstein's. OR, should I just do the H & R's and sell the Eibach's?

What he said

Blistien/H&R combo is on my "to buy" list, it'd be great if you could line something up with atleast H&R's

H&R's will make for an easy GB. I"ll have to check my accounts for the best Blistien deal, however we can most certainly make the H&R's happen. I also carry the Eibachs aswell, so if ya'll just wanna make it a big spring GB then that'll be fine with me. I'll get some prices by Thursday........

Keep on with the suggestions.....

springs and struts sound good to me...

Make me a C/F trunk!

Seriously!

CF trunk would be cool and would be able to be used across all years of contours and mystiques.

Yes........I need to complete my theme!

I vote CF trunk, too; but not because I want one; I'm too poor.

CF trunk would be something awesome, it would add a lot of style to our cars, but it might be something hard to do.

But how many people will pay $500 for a carbon fiber trunk

. Maybe three people. A carbon fiber trunk is more complicated there for more expenssive than a hood. So its doubtfull it will ever happen. Though I/we may try in the future.

H & R's

I might be interested.

CF Interior pieces i would be interested in that. or CF dash trim atleast. or Magnaflo resonators and exhaust tips. i would be in terested in all that.

bilstiens

I don't have any money so no suggestion, I just wanted to say that svtcuervo is really good to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase something through him again.

i like the CF dash trim idea or CF something with the interior (prefer the dash for sure!)

i vote for the bilsteins too!!!

Ok guys, We've now moved the H&R Spring GB to another post. Please go over there and we can get that part of this done:

http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=groupbuy&Number=765463&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=&vc=

Now for the Bilsteins......

As everyone knows, BAT has these struts speacially made for the Contour application. BAT is not the easiest group of people to work with as far as wholesale goes because their prices are already so close to cost. I"m still in the process of working this out with them and a few of their wholesale distributors, so I"m not counting it out yet, however it doesn't look too optomistic.

However if you all are interested in struts I carry KYB or Konni and I can help you out. I think Konni's run about $135 plus shipping. Let me know

As for the CF trunk.....

I have never presonally dealt with anything CF

I wouldn't know the first place to start on gettings somthing like that done. Sorry guys...

Keep the suggestions rolling in. Thanks

I suggest that the Group Buy forum and all Group Buys are suspended until I have money

are the konni's just the struts, or do they come with the lowing springs as well?

After dealing with him through the PIAA 510 GB, I've got nothing but good things to say. I plan to do more with this GB. And, BTW, thanks for bringing it up!!

Struts only.. Both group buys going on at the same time so you can get everything you need for a deal.. Now if he could only get you guys some camber kits to go with them

I'm curious--do you want one more for the aesthetic value or the weight savings? Personally, I'd like one if my car was black but I'm not sure how it would look on a tropic green Tour. Course it would go with the muffler surround panel, so maybe. ANYWAY, what's your thoughts on it?

For me it is a little of both...I would like to continue the C/F theme. By spring, I should have a C/F splitter.

i just picked up a trunk lid....they're a lot lighter than i was expecting, i think this mod is purely asthetic, as ther's maybe a 5 pound savings with a cf lid

I know the trunk lid is light....I took my old one off by myself. I just want it to complete the C/F look on my car.

deff. interested in a strut group buy. I have intrax springs sitting in my garrage because i need struts. Dont want to put the springs on without upgrading the struts.

purely a show thing for me, and about half of my car is still black.

im a bit late on chimming in and all............but that trunk would absolutely be sweet

. i got the hood, why not have a trunk, man oh man that would be nice. id pay whatever it costs

Oh sure you guys say you want it now, but when the time comes to ask for money how many will still be there

. If I do it, it will probaly be on a deposit basis and not until after the new year sometime. Will see

How about Rota Wheels? Ive been wanting some but most of them arent in our bolt pattern.

im interested in the Rims group buy (Gunmetal with a chrome/polished lip please

) or if not i am 100% positive i will buy the CF interior pieces if they are made. Or if anyone can get new post 98 headlamps cheap and start a group buy im in. if anyone wants audio equipment for cheap pm me.
