View Full Version : PFYC Speedbuilt Swaybar Group Buy

As the title states, this is another Speedbuilt swaybar group buy.
I've been back and forth for the past couple weeks with Brian from PFYC and just recieved an e-mail from him yesterday stating...
Hi Kameron:
If you can get at least 20 confirmed "yes" to buy a full front and rear set with a commitment to buy, we'd collect the funds and make arrangments for another production run with similar terms and conditions to the last time.
So, I don't know how likely this is, but I know of a few people that had missed out on the last one (including myself) and maybe some new members that may also be interested.
As for the terms Brian had stated that they will be similar to the last group buy, which I will post for those of you that don't know them.
1. At least 20 people committed to buy a SET.
2. A 50% NON REFUNDABLE deposit is required, unless the required amout of deposits is met. Then refunds will be done, minus 5%.
3. If someone that has made a deposit changes their mind, it is up to them to find someone to take their spot.
4. Once they have recieved the 20 deposits they will place the order.
Price for the set was 279.99 plus additional shipping the last group buy. Should be the same this time around.
If you are interested and to keep this as organized as possible, please copy and past the list below adding your number and your user name. If you see this on another forum, please do not post your username twice, once is enough and will be easier to keep track of.

good luck I was on the last one, so I don't need a set unless I buy another Alero which might happen with in a year or two, and it has to be a 2DR PERIOD!! lol oh and 3400
Post on grandamgt.com, and 60degreev6.com might help
Oh and 313 post yea!

Thanks, I know a lot of people were on the last one, but I'm hoping that there's enough interest this time around too.
I'm already on GAGT but I forgot about 60degreev6, thanks.
313? I'm assuming 313 the band?

You will NOT get all the people you need on here.....it was CLOSE last group buy. DEF have to post on the other forums. Good luck. These group buys usually don't work out too well...a lot of work/time involved

As of right now It's on five forums, two just today. So I'm hoping it will turn out, but I'm aware of the possibility of it not working out.

The biggest thing is that it is an expensive purchase...if I could get the extra money available then I would jump on it and I am sure I am sure my friends would likely be interested if they had the extra cash but as of right now I don't see either of us being able to be a part of it.
04PONTIACGA
03-25-2013, 09:38 PM
Well, at the rate It's going you should have some time.
I'll keep things updated as they progress, this way if some are interested, but don't have to money atm, could still keep an interest.

Umm.. price? That's kind of important when making a decision like this. Is this a mystery cost?
03Sleepr
03-25-2013, 10:03 PM
probably around the same as last time, IIRC it was ~$300

Well obviously it's not going through right now....you and your friends have time to save up so tell them! BTW everyone says what you just said....if i had the extra money i would do it and then they end up not buying cause they don't have the money 5 months later. This WILL be a long process if you guys are serious....so start stashing away $50 every pay day and by the time it comes around you will have the dough. BOOM! ;)

^^^^ This, also if it is done the same as last time, they will set up a deposit page for $150, then you will pay for the rest when they are ready to be shipped.

we shall see, still have other things ahead of it that are more necessary and I don't have a paycheck right now...still need to replace all struts and mounts at the very least...Also thinking it would be a good idea to replace my water pump since it is internal and has 161k on it, which the fact that it is internal will make it more expensive to replace...service tranny, needs new tires, you can only spend so much at a time...I will see what I can do but every time I think I can afford to get ahead on the list something more important seems to want to break...I also have my 65' tbird to get done because my dad is getting irritated that it is still taking up space in his shop...I can go a lot farther if I manage to get a school job next year we will have to see

I know!! I'm going to be able to build a whole new car with all the parts I'll have sitting around! Hope this can go though, I had to give up my spot last time when that telephone pole jumped out infront of me. If this doesnt start happening till summer though I would be perfectly ok with that. funds will be more readily available then.

Telephone pole jumped out in front of you? They should really figure out a way to secure those in the ground somehow.:lol:

Few more committed to buy and we can get some new sway bars!

Very tempted, but Im deterred due to the cost of shipping to Toronto (Canada) PLUS duty fee's and such. Maybe I can send it to Kinek address in Detroit, Michigan...Or Buffalo, NY...
If anyone from Canada is reading this, Kinek is an awesome company that has specific locations/businesses who have agreed to let you ship your items to them. There is a small pick up fee of $8$-10, depending on the size of the package. Sign up is free I believe AND they have a tracking app for Android.
I used them for my factory rear 6X9 speakers (the updated version, with the better cones and "glue"). Nothing but good ratings here.

Oh snap, forgot to ask: Does this group buy come with all the bushings? (assuming the factory bushing hold downs/brackets are used regardless of FE2/FE3 setup)
tw0123
05-22-2013, 09:52 PM
they come with the mid point poly bushings... end link bushings should be replaced but the stock ones can be reused if they are in good condition...

I bought a set this way a few years ago. It was great working with the GAGT guys to get it done.
It's worth the money to buy them :D

You and me both. I just installed the rear one I got a while back and it made a big difference. I really want to see how the front and rear work together.

Reduces body roll and prevents the car from mushing out in corners. I have the rear only and I noticed a big improvement.

The Speedbuilt anti-roll bars are still one of my favorite mods.
I've used them for many years and they've been tried with several different suspension setups.
My car is very neutral, corners fairly flat, and I can dial in understeer or oversteer depending on how I attack a corner. They do add a touch of ride harshness, but it's still DD-friendly.
Anyone who has ridden in my car knows that the ride is pretty dialed in.
