QA1 Suspension Group Purchase????

[NJSPEEDER]

hey gang,
i was talking to a local dealer, BR Fabrications, that i know through the circle track racing scene and he is interested in working with us to put together a group purchase.
he has access to everything QA1 makes for drag, street, dirt racing, and paved oval. he also has shock and spring dynos at his shop if you need testing or would like a custom valving.
the basic deal will be he will match the prices of the national retailers(jegs, summit....). the more people get invovled the deeper the discount.

QA1's website is not that great. but you can find all the info on what is available. www.QA1.net

who is interested?

so what would we be buying/

[2001orangess]

how many people will we need to see a nice discount

[NJSPEEDER]

hmmm, thats a tough one. it is an inquiry to see who is interested in QA1 Suspension stuff.

as stated above, BR Fabrication can get anything out of the QA1 catalog as well as providing custom shock and spring services.

[NJSPEEDER]

how many people will we need to see a nice discount

we didn't get real specific into that yet. the example he gave me was that if 4 or 5 guys wanted to order the Pro Coil Double Adjustables we could get them for around $460 a set, that is $40 less than in the catalogs and about $100 below list. i am sure a similar percentage discount will be the basic idea.
nothing is set in stone yet. if you are plannign to upgrade your suspension and you are interested in QA1 stuff let me know. if it looks like there is a good amount of interest with in the next week or so i will talk to bobby again about specific pricing or a specific percentage discount per item.
it won't take too many people to buy in for us to get a good deal, taht is for sure.
i know i am buying from him either way(double adjustable pro coil front set up :D), and i can think of at least 1 other board member who is planning to go to QA1 shocks during the off season. :)

Too bad I already have them. BTW, I have the 12-way adj. "F" version. Not the cheapest, but money well spent.

sorry i don't know what they sell

[ar0ck]

Son of a bitch, If this was a month earlier, I would have gone with QA1 stuff.

[2001orangess]

if you can get me a nice torque arm, then i'm definately down for it

[NJSPEEDER]

they don't make torque arms. check out the site for their product line.

Very good mod for the drag racer/ handling car

[V]

[slasherbarb]

im interested...need to start on suspension mods soon...

[biggsj84]

also possibly interested if prices look right

[Savage_Messiah]

anyone know if the coilovers are for just v8 or if those springs would be good on a v6 too?


EDIT it seems malice has em, so I guess so.

[NJSPEEDER]

i am gonna talk to bobby on monday about this. i will have him put together a pricing structure so we cna get started. the GP will only run a few weeks. so if you wanna get in on it start getting your money together.

What kinda time frame are we looking at? I need new shocks for the '79.

[NJSPEEDER]

now that i am done(hopefully) with the engine swap ordeal i am gonna make a run up to bobby's shop and get pricing all sorted out.
we will prolly run the GP for 2 weeks or so.
the way we are lookin to set it up is that any item ordered will be eligable for a percentage discount. the percentage discounted will increase as more people participate.
i will get together a complete list of f-body shocks, springs, and coil over packages as well as the number of orders needed to attain each discount level.
our starting price will match whatever jegs/summit list and get better as more people buy in.
if anyone wants a non-fbody QA1 catalog item or has a question about applications let me know and i will get you information and pricing.

BTW..... my hals were 1.5 pounds lighter than my stock v6 shocks :)

[Tru2Chevy]

BTW..... my hals were 1.5 pounds lighter than my stock v6 shocks Â*:)

And I imagine that coilovers would save even more weight....

[NJSPEEDER]

i am heading up to BR Fab tomorrow night to go over everything with bobby. i will drop a new thread with all the prices adn price breaks late tomorrow night or friday evening.
i would like to run this for 2 weeks if that is cool with everybody. we will get all the orders together and have everything ordered at once. shouldn't take long for the stuff to come in, bobby is a major distributor for QA1 so they give him priority.

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm sorta in a bind, being TOTALLY strapped for cash (Tim I talked to you about my financial situation lol) but reeeeeeeally wanting these... if it's now and only for 2 weeks though I will have to pass

[SteveR]

Are we still doing this? I gotta pick up the coil overs within the next two weeks.

[Tru2Chevy]

If so, I think Tyler is interested in picking up some stuff for his '79 too.

- Justin

[NJSPEEDER]

sorry guys. i got a little side tracked with other projects. i will make the calls and get this rolling.
i won't be able to set everything up until i am home again from my work adventures in north jersey.
plan for the GP to start the week after xmas most likely.
sorry for the delay.

[Mike]

the delay was a good thing.....i need to figure out what i wanna do, and after the holliday will be a perfect time

[SteveR]

I need part#'s DGMP31 and DDR2000K. Hopefully they can do better than the Summit Price of $1350.

[NJSPEEDER]

the GP will easily beat the prices of summit/jegs/any other nationally advertised offer
