*2023* GROUP BUY: Eibach ProKit (3805.140) for 87-94 Berettas

GROUP BUY STATUS: CLOSED. Eibach has confirmed our total order and is in queue for production. They will run the first 50 orders (the material set aside for our original minimum) and will complete the remainder shortly thereafter. Ill post any additional info as I get it. Please check back here for updates.

11/20/23 The first 50 sets have arrived. I am working on getting shipping quotes to everyone.
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!!!!

Alright, this group purchase is officially a GO. I've gotten all of the details worked out with Eibach and as soon as the money has been collected, they will do a short production run of the 3805.140. This kit will fit:

1987-1994 CHEVROLET CAVALIER Z24
1987-1994 BUICK SKYLARK
1987 BUICK SOMERSET
1987-1994 CHEVROLET CAVALIER
1987-1994 PONTIAC SUNBIRD
1987-1994 PONTIAC GRAND AM
1987-1994 CHEVROLET BERETTA
1987-1994 CHEVROLET CORSICA
1992-1994 OLDSMOBILE ACHIEVA

Just like when we did this in 2013, this endeavor is a one-time, group purchase. Eibach will build any number of kits we need, but they need *50* to get started. We need a MINIMUM of 50 PREPAID orders before Eibach will produce the kits. After payment is received, Eibach will take up to 8 WEEKS to manufacture the order. They will then ship the entire order to me by freight truck. I will then be shipping these out to each individual, probably via FedEx. You'll pay the actual shipping fees plus just $5 to cover my fuel costs. I will do my best to find the best possible rates.

PRICING:

The price is $220 PER 3805.140 kit. This price is still well below the original retail price when these springs were widely available. This price does not include shipping to you, this is simply the purchase price.

SHIPPING:

After I have received the bulk shipment from Eibach, I will give you a quote for shipping of the springs from me to you. I realize this shipping scenario isn't ideal, but part of the pricing associated with this group buy involves Eibach making a bulk order with one shipping destination. I will shop around for the best shipping prices on these springs. Once I get a shipping quote, I would ask you to PayPal the shipping cost to me - This will allow me to ship your springs FAST! This worked very well for everyone last time we did this group buy and it should be just as easy this time.

TIMEFRAME:

After the order has been placed and paid with Eibach, it will take them approximately 8 weeks to fulfill the order and prepare it for shipment. I am assuming it will take a week to arrive here, to me, and then another week or 2 for me to get them shipped out to each individual buyer. PLAN ON delivery of your springs about 10-11 weeks after Eibach gets the payment.

PAYMENT:

I've tried to make this process as easy and painless as I can for all involved. That being said, rather than send Eibach 50+ individual payments, I'd like to send them a lump sum payment directly. The best way to do this would be for all interested parties to make their payments directly to me. I realize this may not be the preferred method, but it is the only way that we, as a community, can accurately check the status of this type of group purchase. We will know EXACTLY when all payments have been received and exactly when our order is placed. This also helps Eibach to maintain 1 order instead of many small ones (Keep in mind, this is a large scale manufacturer and will be shipping these via pallet to a single address).

I've been part of the Beretta community for over 23 years now and many members know me personally. I plan on keeping everyone fully aware of the status of the group buy and will make myself available via phone, email, Facebook and Beretta.Net. If you're still on the fence, just ask anyone who bought a set back in 2013 when I did this group buy back then. It was a total success!

*** When sending payment, please add 2.5% to cover PayPal fees or you can send it friends/family to save yourself the fees. Either way is fine. ***

Payment info removed

In an effort to make this process fair for everyone, I will place the order with Eibach one week AFTER receiving the initial 50 orders. This will help to ensure that everybody gets their springs in a timely fashion and we're not all waiting on one slow payment. PayPal is really the best way to make your payment. Not only is it immediate, it will also give both you and I proof of payment, protecting everyone involved.

FYI, the best shipping rates I've ever found are on pirateship dot com. You plug in the info and pay and you get a label. Usually 40% off standard rates.

Konis are the way to go with these imo. Check the Koni thread in the suspension sub forum, I posted my YouTube videos showing how I did it.
