First and last group buy for me. I could've had this installed on my car by now. The savings just weren't worth it to me, and if I were a bigger a$$ than I already am, I'd cancel my order and get the RSB from somewhere else.

Same for me on the Group Buy it was a Mission to get to this point, if it wouldnt have got the people for this price, I wouldnt have got one through Progress for the 205 bucks....

This is how group buys work unfortunately. You sacrafise time for savings. If this was a popular item like a set of coilovers that we stock, no one would have had to wait. But something that we have to deal with the manufacturer directly to make prices levels require a purchase of 10-15 bars to make it happen. There is nothing we can do regarding that. We are still awaiting payment from two more people so if you guys know them I would suggest encouraging then to contact us. Another reason we haven't charged any one yet for the bars

Unfortunately, I no longer have a reason to purchase this. My license has been suspended for a year and I'll be lucky to be able to keep the Maxima after this is over with. My apologies for holding this group buy up.

Got a couple of emails from JM Auto Racing today (instead of yesterday per their IM) about my RSB being shipped. It says that it'll be here in a couple of days. The whole process was a PITA for everyone on the list and them as well. Lesson learned - I won't be repeating it again.

I'm all paid up. I don't understand the complaining though....? it took less than 2 months to get 10 people rounded up and paid up; seems pretty reasonable to me, but to each his own I guess. Thanks to the TS for getting this organized and saving me $$.

I kind of see what you are saying, Ive tried talking to them a few times about placing an order for a RSB on the first of the month...at this point I have no idea what to do. I told them I will def. have the money on the first, but when I told them I wont have it until the first I havent heard anything else from them so I have no clue if an extra was indeed ordered or not

For one, people that put their names on the list had to back out for their own personal reasons. I don't have a problem with them; $h*t happens beyond your control and at the wrong time, that's life. My problem is, I'm impatient and initially I was on the fence about the whole group buy thing, but got my money when I said I'd have it, and was ready. Those two issues combined with some other things that I won't get into publicly has pretty much put a damper on my feelings about group buys.

I'm paid up too, but this originally wasn't supposed to take 2 months.

I can agree with you. Originally there was no talk about an extensions and it was said if there wasnt enough people then the deal would be killed and we can still purchase but obviously at a higher price. It seemed like the people on the list wasnt consulted on the extension as I would have thought.

I am still a fan of a group buy and dont mind the wait but I can see how it may have pissed some people off.

With the Cattman header buys we go into it knowing its going to take months. I was under the assumption it would be max a month. But I am still supper excited and glad I was forced to wait to save some money.

Thank you OP and thank you Vendor.

I'm a little frustrated with the time it has taken, but I'm more pumped to get it finally and at a pretty good price. Thanks to OP and vendor, let's just get these delivered an installed.

I'm not trying to dampen the fact that the OP and the vendor hung in there & we got the deal. Thanks to the OP. I know some of you are happy regardless of the time, because you're adding this on top of other mods. For me it's just something that I'm adding to my daily driver so it can handle better & to partly satisfy my curiosity.

This is how group buys work, people flake all the time. You're relying on people you don't know to participate in this great deal with you in order to make it happen. Besides, what's the rush to put on a RSB?

Be happy you saved yourself some money..

LOL! I'm in no rush, it was more about doing what you're saying you're going to do and when you say you're going to do it. I'm not worried about the savings. Money comes and goes, and at the present time I have it coming in like I want it.

My order posted in my account on the JM site today, staus is at "processing". I just wanted to see what others totals are like, mine is $210.53:
150-RSB
43-Shipping to Canada
15-Low order fee?
2.25-Handling and insurance fee

Not to sure what a "low order fee" is, especially on a group buy? Was everyone else charged this fee? I kind of think this should have been posted with the price, anyone agree?

Low order fee would only apply to you as you are in canada. Those are you custom and duty fees.

If that's the case, and I don't get charged again when it's delivered, right on! I have yet to receive anything from the states, that I haven't had to pay more money for when it's dropped off.

Is this something you know for sure JM?

Money has been deducted from my bank account, but status on JM's website still shows that it's still in process. I'm guessing that they'll probably ship after the Memorial Day weekend sometime.

I have two questions that are still unanswered JM. Do you know for sure that I won't have to pay more duties etc, when my bar arrives? Are they shipped?
