Default Suspension - group buys

As I notice a few builds progressing, would we have any interest if a group buy for some protech shocks could be arranged? I believe there currently £452 a set not sure if it could be arranged (I have never approached anyone) but if prices could come down a bit it would make it a little easier.
Any interest?

Well I received a very prompt reply from pro tech.....

At the moment protech would not be interested in offering any group buy offers.

Oh well!

The protech look nicer, maybe they'll give a group 10% dscount rather than a substantial discount for a large number...

Do Gaz sell direct to the public or via shops?

You don't tell the company your doing a group buy you just ask what discount they can offer for bulk buying, also motor sport and kitcar parts suppliers slick to their guns during the summer and are more 'flexable' between Nov and Feb when sales are very slow....
I may be able to offer a better deal towards Christmas by getting around the dreaded 20% problem.

People at Rally Design are very nice. If you ask for 3 sets of Gaz Shocks, they might give you a little something?
