Default Group buy ideas

I know there are some group buys going on right now but what about small things like SRT intakes, strut tower bars, toms braces, interior stuff and any other stuff that would be good for the GS.. We have alot of good distributers out there but group buys on some of the recent products are expensive, Body kits, iforged wheels, and other products that cost a few grand...

I'm just putting some ideas out there that maybe we can use since some of us newbes are on a budget Don't get me wrong there have been great group buys lately... some great stuff coming from Carson, Lexusmods, etc.... Thanks guys

Same here. Im all for a rebuild suspension kit.

But what I really want is an S/C for the GS400. Maybe someone can take the lead on this and put something together for us. Its wishful thinking but its worth a shot.

LoL Glad to hear its nice and tight LOL These parts seems to wear pretty fast.. I meant 50-60k on these cars aren't alot of miles really... Maybe its because the cars are so heavy and the weight has to go somewhere...

I believe Carson will be holding a TOMS group buy for the month of Sept. Steve just has to finish taking orders for the JP group buy items first. That should end in Aug.

my car has 28k miles and you've got me paranoid I just went through a little vibration ordeal, but it was because one of my new 18" tires were out of round.

a GB on a front end rebuild kit would be sweet though.

I agree on the front end GB. This is what happens when you spend too much time reading CL

I'm looking to rebuild the front suspension in the next month or two. If a group buy comes up soon, that would be great.
