In January after my Visa is cleared I'm in.

I have made an inquiry to Vertical Stores (aka PartsForYourCar) to see if they have any interest in partnering with this project request.
As far as I am concerned, they were responsible for marketing the only swaybars for this platform that I'd ever recommend (I have had two different sets over the years, and one set is still installed on my car). I have no idea who their manufacturing partner is.
I will let you all know what I find out, but no promises.

^sweet! I'm going to drop in some strut bars with my lowering springs next month so these would great to go along with it. LETS GET UR DONE!

tw0123 · 11-30-2011, 11:43 PM

I would be in for a front bar if we can get the price at or around $150... I know its a long shot, but that is my tight budget right now...
Good luck Matt, I hope you can get somewhere with them...

Thank you Matt....really appreciate it. Like i said i will buy 2 sets if i HAVE to. Just wanna get some GOOD sway bars on my car....too much roll around turns

I asked matt to be intermediary yesterday since nothing happened at the last time and i will buy a few sets too just to make this happen also .
If this does happen there will be strict guidelines
and a 100 percent chance you will pay up front and wait For those of you who want cheap i dont think it will happen without a larger number of sets being made , so a smaller run WILL be more expensive per unit

Also i seriously doubt you would be able to buy just one front or one rear So lets make this easy and make it SETS

Here is today's reply from Brian @ PFYC:

Hi Matthew:

If the company who made them is even still willing to do it, the last time we checked several years ago they required an order of 25 bars in order to do it. We'd probably not be willing to even attempt it unless we got a full 25 pre-paid (in full, non cancellable) orders. I wouldn't think that'd be easy these days.

And my response:

Brian:

Would you be willing to either contact the manafacturer or provide a contact name/number for me to directly contact them?
I understand that for the project to be worth their while, they would require a substantial committment.
I guess the first step is to find out if they'd even do it.
Kindly let me know.

Matt

Thanks very much Matt !

Shiwnath · 12-01-2011, 11:15 PM

Well someone should post up on www.grandamgt.com, http://www.gaownersclub.com/ and the malibu sites to get more then just us.

Also on a side note, how will we be pre-ordering? I assume when we have enough guys with cash in hand, the guys from PFYC will have a swaybar pre-order purchase set up in their store correct? I've never done a group buy so I don't really know what to expect lol.

Edit: Maybe there should be some sort of poll made for people who are in on this so that it's easier to keep track rather than having of a list of people that has to be constantly updated. That way it would be more organized. Just a thought.

I understand your point on this, however I do know that some people have been able to get one or the other and just need the complimentary bar... I have a rear, and need a front, Bentiac, who started this thread, has a front and needs a rear... so between the 2 of us, that would make a complete set... I think if you rule us out because we only need 1 bar is highly unfair and will hold out on a set being spoken and paid for especially when it is a minimum of 25 of EACH bar, not 25 sets... so if you can guarantee one or the other, why hold that against the people who are willing to commit and pay for the bar they need?

adrian13 · 12-02-2011, 04:11 AM

I'm willing to give this another try. I'm in only for the rear swaybar. I had purchased the last front swaybar through PFYC a few years ago. The company that they had went through is speedbuilt.

How this worked (not really) last time with the group buy was that everyone gave their money to Mark of MP Racing and he held the money insisting that Eibach was going to make the swaybar for the N-body. Through a few months of not enough serious buyers he gave money back or accepted store credit. I think that we should give maybe PFYC the money (if they're willing) and have them get the savings/transactions going.

Papa Rad17 · 12-02-2011, 04:34 AM

I'm in for sure. with all the other suspension work im doing these would be great. I need a full set, and my buddy who also has an alero would probably be in for it to. id REALLY like to see this happen
