Soooo...being desperate for some rear B8s lead me to contact Pumaspeed in the UK via email. They can get them but they are 250 pounds and 50 pounds to ship, that would equal (as of today's exchange rate) to about $405.42 (plus VAT, so a bit more). Wow, basically about double the price here in the US...if they were available...that's the catch.
I asked about discounts if more were ordered and Tony said they could better the pricing. I replied back asking how many set would be needed for better pricing, 6 sets, 10 sets, 15 sets? I am waiting to hear back from him. I tried Euro Performance but they did not reply back.
FYI...I sent him the part number, he said it was the same part number in the UK as it is for our US spec cars.
I have no experience with group buys so I just ask if I got more interested if we could just place orders directly and let them know it was a part of the same group. So hopefully I will get a reply back soon and will pass on the info.
I don't know if I would drop the $400+ but sometimes I do crazy things. Especially because I have the fronts and have been waiting for an eternity for the rears. Also, what does one do with fronts only, not sure if I could return them after this long. Why would they take them back if they know they won't be sold and sit on their shelf.
What do you others in need of B8s think...
