A187A Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 What is the end price??? Is there a set shipping cost? How long a wait for the plates? two day dead line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn_Silva Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I would rather send the money to someone who wants to organize this and then have them shipped direct to me. I don't want to mess around long distance calling the USA and messing around. Can we just PayPal this to make it happen? That was the understanding I had.... Take care Shawn questtsi@shaw.ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 I am interested in a set also, but i am confused as to who is organizing and how we are handling payment. can someone clearify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted March 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 I organized this to as a you pay BozzPerformance. I was trying to gather everyone's shipping info into a spreadsheet I could give to Bozz. That way it'd be easier when everybody called them. I have what "might" be a change of supplier for this group buy, relating to a "known" person on this forum... So I haven't gone thru with Bozz until I hear a yes or no from him. So hold tight, we'll get this done!!! mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 hey, I'm interested if the price is in my budget- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 anything new? I really need a set of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I ran into difficulties working with Bozz and have turned over the process to another starquester. He is trying to use his contacts and capibilities to work with greddy, who had flat out ignored me. I hope there will be something more to this group buy, but cant say if/when a new agreement will be reached. I apoligize for not getting this done. I also regret not notifing everyone immediately, but was hoping to have better news to report Michael Meyerhoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 what happend with Bozz. can we just order them ourself one at a time? are they the prefered people to order from? there are a few places on the net that can order them but i would prefer to get them from Bozz directly.

MikeMeyerhoff Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I don't know anyone who has dealt with Bozz. They are a smaller operation and I don't know how reputable they are, but they are a direct distributer for Cusco and have lower prices on Cusco than many other "non"-distributers. mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 just ordered from Bozz. worst case will be that it will come in a container on a ship which will get here first week of june. $270 +shipping. i didnt care too much about the 20-30 here and there. i think i paid like $400 for crappy ground controls, i just wanted to get the damn thing asap and I figured they can get them faster than anyone. figured I will be the guinepig.

Shawn_Silva Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 So is this GP dead in the water? I really wanted a set and it just kinda fizzled away..... Take care Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 yes whats the latest? i need these!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted July 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Yes its dead, at least my efforts. I could not get much of a discount, or more importantly a reduction in the shipping time. mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 if you guys can wait about a month, i will most likely start making these. the current situation is rediculous. pricing should be cheaper too. I will look into it next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbide Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 will one be able to use a strut tower brace with any camber plate set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted July 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 A setup like the cusco camber plates mount from the bottom. That takes up some suspension travel, but does allow you to use tower braces. Some mount to the top, but that is not as strong/safe and may not allow you to use a standard tower brace. mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89tsi20g Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 , yea keep us posted, i'd get a set too, for my new GC coilovers i just got from the last GB, is it a set for front and rear or just front? Rob NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 the rears are almost done. i will have them by next week probably. those are cheap. the fronts are more complicated but I should still be able to make them for about $50 less than what the cuscos sell for.

dstar26t Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Keep up the good work Art, I'm anxiously awaiting to get my hands on your suspension stuff. The ground controls are kinda pointess sitting in the box:'( Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tux Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 do you still need uppert strut bearings w/ camber plates? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 man, these things confused me to hell when I first got them. lets just say they are not that prefect of a design. the bearing system on the ground control camber plates made much more sense. it comes with a spherical bearing but I dont like the way the wholet thing works. the GC came with a thrust type bearing. I am adding a flat thrust bearing myself to the setup so the sperical bearing wont have to take the turning load when you turn the wheels. I have an engineer friend who is looking up a company that has sealed bearings that already come with mounting brackets which will make copying these a piece of cake and make them much cheaper. we are just waiting for their catalog.
