The group buy is now over. Please follow the payment instructions below by 9/13/2010. ORDERING PROCEDURE To participate in this group buy, please follow the steps below:
Assuming all goes well, the vendor will order the production run at the end of the 7-day remittance period. Production will take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks. Their policy is to provide a weekly update by email to everyone on the waiting list so you will know exactly where status is. Also be aware that if the paid orders fall below 16 units, we will be expected to remit an additional $20 in accordance with our original published offering. (If this scenario happens, the vendor will grant us a few more days to get the minimum 16 orders needed for the $460 price point). GROUP BUY PARTICIPANTS [username / year & model / strut color / bolt type for firewall braces - (nut on top of a threaded stud, OR hex head bolt (no stud sticking up)] 01. 45ACP / 08 Z4MC / Titanium Silver / hex head bolts --- PAID 02.

Gyrian / 08 Z4MC / Black Textured / hex head bolts --- PAID ////////////////////////////////////////////// ORIGINAL GROUP BUY INFORMATION 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. Z4 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.
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.

Regarding the accident-related question you had about the firewall braces: "The several decorative holes allow the bar to collapse in the event of a severe front end collision." |

The firewall brace hardware is quite simple. There are two methods used by BMW. A threaded stud sticking up out of the chassis with a hex NUT securing the end of the FW brace. The other method is a threaded hex head BOLT that threads down into the chassis (nothing sticking up). Sometimes people get NUT and BOLT mixed up or use them interchangeably which would be confusing in this instance. Everyone should stop and think what a NUT is and what a BOLT is, then report in their order accordingly. Also, not to be confused, but we are talking about the Firewall brace hardware, NOT the shock towers which ALL have three threaded studs sticking up out of the chassis with a NUT fastener. |

Dude, if we reach the $460 price point, I will personally see to it that you get your $20 back or I will reimburse you out of my own pocket. And that is a promise.

Bump for a great price on an awesome product that rarely (if ever) goes on sale.
Save between $120 to $140 off regular cost. |

The vendor will be attending Z Fest 2010 in the first week of September, so the group buy deadline will be extended until September 6th when he returns.

Nobody pays until the group buy closes after the deadline. Those who want to get theirs first should be among the first to pay when it's time.
