Eibach Group Buy

[BizTerp]

I called a rep at Eibach and found out they they will do a special production run of the now discontinued Pro-Kit springs if we are able to consolidate 25 orders. The money has to come from a single source. The cost is $175/set plus whatever it costs for this individual to ship them out. How many would be interested in a set? Unfortunately, I'm not in a position financially to front the money. However, if we run though PayPal, I would be willing to consolidate the orders by PayPal and place the order as I have cash in hand for all 25. Let me know what you guys think. Unfortunately, the only member of this forum I have met in person that can vouch for my character is the guy I bout my MM from. He's of course no longer on the forum. I definitely understand if folks are unwilling to send money to someone they don't know. I guess I could post the contact info. for the rep at Eibach and if people want to call to confirm this is legit, that might work.

In for sure 1 set. This is great news I was gonna start trying to find someone to make them SO this is awesome. I personally dont carefor the ride The oe's cut give even with a set of KYB's. OE's to me give a little to much rebound.

[MM03MOK]

To avoid issues with our Vendors, this group buy should go through one of our vendors, especially if they already sell Eibachs.

[rossv1]

I would be interested in a set.

I'm not aware of any of our vendors who sell them but if you are willing to twist a few proverbial arms I'm in for a set:)

[Joe Walsh]

You should post this on the CV and GM boards to get more people involved as I think you willl find it difficult to get anywhere near 25 members committing on an Eibach group buy.
"Committing" meaning actually ponying up the money vs. just voting 'Yes' on the poll.
Just my :twocents:

That would be great. I would very much prefer NOT to be involved. I just want an extra set and want to help others get a set too. The look and ride quality of the Pro-Kit and KYBs is phenomenal.

[Dennis Reinhart]

I would try and get us a better deal, but again the number required would have to be reached, I will call them in the morning, because the Marauder is out of production they quit making these and they are not going to a few of these so what not let this run see how many members are interested, and I will see what I can do.

Thanks, Dennis!

[Triple Threat]

Dennis,
If you are involved with this deal, I will take two sets.

[Seneca]

1 set for sure depending on price maybe two

[BODYMAN]

Well if iam looking at this right looks like 10 of us so far Hopefully Dennis can do some good on this

[Ktorres1]

What are the benefits over stock and how much to have them installed ?

[rossv1]

yeah i may upgrade to 2 as well if it helps get it us to the required number. could sell the other one later on.

You the man. Thanks for stepping in! Hopefully we can get something going.

[Mercguy04]

I am up for a set, two if necessary.
I see the whole gangs here. that great.
I am sorry about the other deal that fell through.
This is a much better deal. so lets get it done.
Thanks to Dennis this could very well happen.

[BeanSS]

Are these that much better than stock? Right now my car is a bit too bounceyif I get on it and the road is bumpy....if these will help im down for a set somebody just let me know if this what I need

[ctrlraven]

Some people don't mind them, others have reported they are very harsh. The other option is cutting 3/4-1 coil off your stock springs or get a new set of CVPI ones and cut them.

I am going to call this morning, I am not here to sell any one any thing they do not want and a lot of times I tell customers in my opinion certain modifications are just not needed, for example do not buy under drive pulley's or a CAK if you plan on adding a S/C I am not a big fan of the BBK throttle body, with that being said I will tell every one interested in these, that I personally never cared for them I have drove Marauders with them and he is right it does make for a much stiffer ride, it also throws out the front end alignment, and in some cases does not leave enough adjustment to bring the car back in to specification. But again some people love them so lets see what we can do.

[ctrlraven]

I wonder if you can still get the CarFixer alignment specs with them....

Ok I just got off the phone with them, and they will make 25 sets at 175.00 per set, I am asking the club that I make 10.00 per order I have to be able to recoup the credit card fees, I will accept pay pal but those people will have to pay the pay pal fees, we will be looking at a 6/8 week turnaround, the shipping from California to Florida is approx 600.00, they will not drop ship, so lets divide that by 25 orders this comes out to 24.00 per order, so this comes down to 185.00 + 24.00 = 209.00 plus shipping from here and I will only charge the club my discounted UPS rate for shipping to your address, what I would like to do is have every one that wants these to sign in and confirm there order and put your email address, once we have 25 confirmed sales I will have you call me with credit card information, I will place the order with Eibach every one will get a immediate confirmation by email the order was placed. I will ship all orders out the same day I receive them.

[MM03MOK]

Thanks, Dennis! I'm moving this thread to your own forum.

[Dennis Reinhart]

1. Ok I have Ross down for one confirmed set

2. Mebot is in

3. Triple Threat is down for two sets

[Mebot]

Hi Dennis, I am interested in a set. Can you let me know when you would need credit card info (i.e. next week, 2 wks from now. etc..)

thanks!

[Dennis Reinhart]

[QUOTE=Dennis Reinhart;1027458]1. Ok I have

I have also posted this on CV.Net please take the time and cast your vote on the poll

[BODYMAN]

Just sent you a PM for 1 set. Thanks a bunch

[Dennis Reinhart]

This is going well seven sets sold today.:beer:

[Dennis Reinhart]

We now have eight confirmed sets sold we need 25, I posted this on CV.Net and there apears to be little interest there. So will leave this up and see how it goes.

[BeanSS]

Im in for a set Dennis...My Merc bounces up and down so much my springs have the NBA Man symbol on them!!!

[F8LBITEva]

Are these lowering springs or just a replacement for factory springs? And I'm assuming it's just a front pair of springs not a airride-coil conversion for the rear riight?

[Mr. Man]

Are these lowering springs or just a replacement for factory springs? And I'm assuming it's just a front pair of springs not a airride-coil conversion for the rear right?
Eibach's are lowering springs for the front only, about 1" to 1 1/4". The rear is lowered with the air ride adjustment sensor slide.

[F8LBITEva]

does anyone have pics of a MM with these springs installed?

[burt ragio]

Dennis what is the Eibach Pro springs lbs rate ? The OEM springs even with 3/4 coil cut just don't do it for me.

[BizTerp]

does anyone have pics of a MM with these springs installed?

Here's a shot of mine.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Burt I would have to call and ask, since they are not in production, and as I explained this group buy will not fly till, we have the minimum number required for them to do a production run.

[BizTerp]

Dennis,
So far I'm seeing 16 Yes, of which Triple Threat, RossVI, and Seneca might take two sets. That puts us at 19 sets total (does that reconcile with your tally?) How many are interested on CV.net? Hopefully we're getting close.

SW

[Dennis Reinhart]

I have had no contact from CV.Net what some of might want to consider is buy two sets and sell one if you can aford to hold on to the extra set. I will buy two for stock. But if all of us do this I would not sell the extra sets at the sale price, they will go at the regular price sence all of you have gone the extra mile to put this together.

[05crownsport]

As a business owner Dennis, could you get a few sets to keep in inventory in case someone may want a set in the future? It would make good sense to do that for future Marauder owners and future mm.net members. That way if someone wants a pair...you have them in stock.... just my opinion :)

Allmost every vendor I know have cut back on inventory to save on overhead, the only way these can be made are in runs of twenty five, so I can afford a couple of sets if others here have the money to spare then I would buy extras and sell them at retail, I really do not see another GB on these any time soon.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Ok I believe we are close I will buy 2 sets I see we have 18 confirmed so if we can get 25 confirmed every on can call me or email me there confirmation and shipping and credit card information or place the order at my web site which is a secured server And I will place the order after all payments are received. Now if any one buys extra its your choice as to what you sell the extras for, since all of you wanted this I would not sell them at cost.

[Weaver]

Any news on this in the last 4 days? Getting tired of riding bumpy, wondering if I need to go some other route.

Dennis,
Do you accept PayPal?

SW

[Dennis Reinhart]

Dennis,
Do you accept PayPal?

SW


Yes if you pay the fees or send it as a personal gift then they do not take the fees out. I think we are very close, Performance Nut wants a set so we can take a head count and see if we can get these ordered.

[rossv1]

Im still in, only for one though. Funds are tight at the moment.

[BizTerp]

OK. I'll send through PayPal. What email address is linked to your account?

I want to wait till we have a confirmed 25, then I will ask for CC and I will run the cards and place the order the same day so sevey one in this GB needs to step up and will get this started, there is a six week wait once the order has been placed.
:beer:

[Mercguy04]

I'm sorry Dennis,
I found a deal for a set that I couldn't turn down. I also was not sure if this would ever
get off the ground. You are a good man. I am sure the comunity is grateful for your
diligent efforts.
Thank you

:beer:

Sound good Dennis. Thanks for the update.

[boatmangc]

I am interested but mainly for the lowering effect, My question is who has had them and then didn't like them?
With or without Addcos?

[ReefBlueCoupe]

I'm in 100%. I don't visit every day but I get notifications when threads are replied to. When I see that it's time to send somebody some money, I'll do it.

[Dennis Reinhart]

To be honest I never thought we would get this turn out, but we still do not have 25 but we are very close, so I will leave this open till the end of the month. Hopefully we can get the few we need to complete this and get them ordered.

[Dennis Reinhart]

We have now 25 confirmed buys so at this point I need phone calls I am glad I could do this for the members.

[ReefBlueCoupe]

http://www.lxcoupe.com/images/rock.gif

[Dennis Reinhart]

We now have four confirmed credit cards

[ReefBlueCoupe]

Is Paypal an option? I'll pay the fees.

[ReefBlueCoupe]

Nevermind.. just saw this.

Is there a direct link to go to in order to pay?

[Dennis Reinhart]

Yes but please wait till all CC orders come it, and then I will let the pay pall members to send in there payment. I will not run any ones CC till I have every one, then I will run them and place the order the same day this will keep me from being accused of running cards before parts are ordered I want this to go perfectly, you the members deserve this.

[ReefBlueCoupe]

Ok sounds good Dennis.

[MADDOG]

Aloha all,

It's been awhile since i posted on the mm net. Ever since getting my Harley a few years back. I been bz modding it. Anyway, the Eibac spring kit, what will this do to my Marauder? lower and how much? Will it improve handling any negative results... etc. Also I have a friend that has a crown vic will this kit work on it too. I believe it's a 07 vic. Is this mod something i can do myself, oh will I need to change out the shocks too?

Although I do not have Eibachs on my car, from what I have seen pictures on this site and the amount of drop looks good. As far as the 07 Vic goes... the front suspension design is the same, so the Eibachs will work. I put KYB shocks on my car all the way around and the ride is much better... I would recommend anyone changing springs go ahead and install new shocks. What brand is up to you, as many brands are available and everyone has their own opinion as to what is good for them. Good luck and enjoy the weather there! :banana2:

[Dennis Reinhart]

I HAVE ONLY 3 CONFIRMED cc# as soon as I get the others I will place this order

[ReefBlueCoupe]

I HAVE ONLY 3 CONFIRMED cc# as soon as I get the others I will place this order

Just so it is clear, how many CC numbers do you expect vs Paypal payments? I do not mind paying via CC directly, but don't want to just PM my info on this non-secure website. If there is a link you can set up for payment through your store site, I'd rather pay that way. Or over the phone.

If not though, Paypal is still the way I'd like to go.

I need a total of 22 confirmed with what ever payment So with your pay pal it will be 4.

I will buy three sets and keep them for stock, a order of 25 has to met or they will not make them.

[BizTerp]

Dennis,
I will pay with PayPal.

SW

[Dennis Reinhart]

Well we need every one else to step up and I can get these ordered.

[Dennis Reinhart]

It now is going on three weeks and I have four credit cards, I will leave this go till June 6 at that time will consider this a good try.

[Mebot]

Dennis what's the price (including shipping)?

[Dennis Reinhart]

the shipping from California to Florida is approx 600.00, they will not drop ship, so lets divide that by 25 orders this comes out to 24.00 per order, so this comes down to 185.00 + 24.00 = 209.00 plus shipping from here and I will only charge the club my discounted UPS rate for shipping to your address, what I would like to do is have every one that wants these to sign in and confirm there order and put your email address, once we have 25 confirmed sales I will have you call me with credit card information, I will place the order with Eibach every one will get a immediate confirmation by email the order was placed. I will ship all orders out the same day I receive them.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Today is the first, come Sunday I will close this out, no credit cards have been run, and I have had only four people confirm there sales.

[ReefBlueCoupe]

OK guys. Here's the deal. If you committed to buy the springs, you need to buy the springs. If not, you're going back on your word and letting people down who are depending on your participation. Worst case, if you don't want the springs anymore, buy the springs and resell them. There are PLENTY of people looking for these springs. There are a lot of us counting on you, and Dennis has put a lot of time and effort into getting this going.

You know who you are! Do your part!

I predicted this at the beginning of this thread and I hate to say it, but this is the result for a typical Group Buy.

Lots of interest and plenty of: "I'll take one set....and probably TWO!!!"

But when the time comes to pony up the money, almost everyone disappears....:run:

Then the guy trying to administer and coordinate the GB gets burned.

I am only out time so it is not a big deal if you take 2 then we have a total now of 8 sold and thank you for the support.

[Dennis Reinhart]

As of this morning I have elleven confirmed buys we need 14 more by Sunday.

[Mebot]

Dennis please count me in. I'll call with my CC info later this evening or tomorrow. Thanks

[Dennis Reinhart]

So we now have 12 13 more needed

[Mebot]

Dennis, sorry I missed you. I tried calling you at the shop but I guess you might've left for the day. What are your hours tomorrow (Saturday)? Are you open on Sunday?

[Mebot]

We have 13 confirmed orders. I just called and spk w/ Dennis. He has graciously decided to allow the ordering open until Friday, June 10. Hurry up and get your orders in!

I have been more than patient with this group buy, come Friday I am closing this out unless we can close the gap, we are still 12 short. For the 13 that have stepped up I am sorry but again there is nothing I can do, we have to have 25 or they will not do a production run and of the 13 I have no credit cards have been run.:depress:

[BizTerp]

Dennis,
A number of us were interested in sending money by PayPal.

How many on the list indicated they would pay by PayPal?

Derek

[Dennis Reinhart]

Derek


The number listed is every one I have listed by name and phone number, and some of those were paying with pay pal, but we are still 12 short at this point I feel this is ran its course, no credit cards were ran no payments were sent to my pay pal account, because we could not get the minimum committed amount.

[bigrocks85]

Is too late cause I am paypal ready to be added.

[ReefBlueCoupe]

To all who committed then backed out, THANKS A LOT!
