Let me be the first in the GD..... for a 5th gen springs. If you can ship out the springs as soon as payment is received, that would be great!

Do I need to answer that? I think $150 shipped for a set of 5th gen Tein springs is fair. Anything lower than that, you'll have to make your own springs.

just as i was thinking..... u dont got the ***** to say it again.

140 shipped is good price. its a GD, in a group deal u expect DISCOUNT not 10 dollar off the original price.

Okay, I'll say it. You're the idiot. Feeling better now.

Check out www.southwestautoworks.com They have the Tein springs for $172. Steve says that everyone here can get it for $169 shipped. At $150 shipped it's more than $20 off. Have you checked Tein's website? I think the retail price is like $189 or $199.

For 140$-150$ shipped for 4th gen S-techs, you'd have me driving very illegally to get a money order. You'd have me driving even more illegally for a bigger MO if you swung a GD on 4th gen Illuminas as well, since this is what everyone wants with these springs...

You guys have to realize that shipping prices are not included in retail pricing. Shipping can be anywhere from $22-$30. When we run group buys and just about everyone else here on the board that does, we make very little on it.

well duh, 'course the profit margins are lower...that's the whole point of a group deal...and yeah, i'd be willing to pay more for shipping if it was 150...as long as it shipped fast...

I know what these springs retail at, but I also know what price distributors/suppliers purchase these springs at. Let's just say that $150 shipped is the best price for a GD for 10 people. For 20 people, maybe $140 shipped.

BOSS and you need to know that these prices are double the actuall price of manufacturing them!

EX: custommaxima red/clears are for sale @ 169 +shipping. now they got a special for ~ 95 shipped. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe thats just custommax???

Cheap *** people.. I got mine for $169 shipped from Steve, and the fact that I got it from SWA, and namely Steve, made the extra $7 worth it (they were $162 shipped somewhere else..). You're asking for $140?! I doubt that you will get it.. 150 is where you should all aim, and I wouldn't hesitate to pay 155 in a GD, either.

Whoever can sell me a set of 5th gen Tein springs for $150 shipped first, gets my money.

yeah, that may be the cost, but they need to bring home the bread, and i'd definately pay 7 bucks extra for a guy who will ship fast, is honest, and truly cares...
