[b said:45ACP[/b] from zpost.com"]Deadline: August 31, 2010
Upon contacting Strong-Strut about our strong interest in their braces, they are pleased to offer a group buy discount to the zpost forums. Please refer to the original "feeler" thread at http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=418341 for company and product information that has been already covered.
PRICING
All orders will include the complete 3-piece strut set (front AND firewall braces - $549 value) in black or titanium color; large hardware installation kit (washers, acorn nuts, and plastic tower caps http://www.strong-strut.com/accessory_kit.htm - $30 value); and free shipping within the US ($20 value - please ask about additional cost for shipping outside of the US). Please know that these struts are rarely discounted so you would be getting quite the bargain especially considering the products come with a lifetime warranty against failure including hairline cracks and fractures (2 years coverage for the finish). The warranty is even transferable to second owners should you part the car out to sell in the future.
10-15 orders = $480.00 (~20% savings off the $599 MSRP total package price)
16-25 orders = $460.00 (~23% savings off the $599 MSRP total package price)
Please add $15 for shipments to Canada by way of UPS.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
Orders will not ship out until after the group buy is closed and payment from ALL participants have been received. There are only 5-6 units currently in stock, so the first to submit their payments will get theirs first. All others will have to wait approximately three weeks for additional units to be manufactured. In other words, first paid, first served! Tracking information will be emailed as it becomes available. Please ask about additional cost for shipping outside of the US and Canada.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- Acorn nuts for the firewall braces will not be included for those with hex head bolts as it would not be applicable to your vehicle.
- The plastic tower caps require a small modification to make them fit as they are OEM parts for the Z8. Trim off the bottom 1/8 inch skirt then use an adhesive on the edge to hold them in place. The Strong-Strut owner has reported that the caps on his 07 Z4MR have stayed in place since January 2007.
Thanks for your interest!
