as i have said before the apec discs are top quality and well recommended but as for a group buy, whats the point? a far better answer to this would be to find the cheapest supplier then direct everyone to this supplier. obviously this would be regional.
my reasons for this suggestion are simple: if you do a group buy how are you going do deliver the discs to the buyer for zero cost?? these discs are very heavy and i recon at least £15 to post a pair of these without the packing, this is just ridiculous on a forty quid disc.
nottingham area, priced to myself was £41+ vat from allwoods, i would be happy to get these for anyone in my area.
Spike, the reason for a group buy suggestion was simply to get the rears into production, as you know yourself, the fronts are already in production, the rears are not, and after speaking to Apec myself, they said they are unlikely to be for some time. The reason for this thread was to gauge interest from other people who want some sensibly priced, good quality rear discs. I think we've established that Apec are a reputable manufacturer who supply many OEM Discs already.
Its also worth noting that I am personally not in this to make any money. If I were to go down the group buy route it would simply be to get enough people behind me to make the production of the rear discs feasible.
Ive also not suggested in previous posts that postage would be free, I think everyone would appreciate, even if they were buyng from a Motor factors anywhere in the uk that postage would be above and beyond the cost of the discs themselves.
If I can go to Apec and ask them to make 30 sets as an example, then it may well encourage Apec to put them into production sooner rather than later.
