I'll have info soon and will drop the official Group Buy thread in the proper area of fitfreak. Seems like we will have 12 if all who have been so eager actually come through with deposits. Stay tuned.

I'm down, but I need specs on the coilovers.

Max drop? Adjustable dampening? Threaded strut tube? Top mounts? Camber adjustment? Does it include sway bar end links?

thanks! Deposit ready if I can get super low. Apexi makes good shit. I remember when I would only rock their exhaust on every car I had.

With no GB its about 1200 + shipping. This GB is one hell of a deal!

While I 150% agree that this is a great deal, we don't know for a fact that the pricing without the GB is 1200. That's purely an assumption based on the MSRP of the other EXV coils. There are a lot of other things that come into play when it comes down to the actual price.

Specs and instructions

SPECS:
From Apex-i...

"N1 EXV Damper:
  • 32-way damping adjustment
  • Height Adjustment (2-2.5" before pre-load according to the specs from JPN)
  • Rear can drop further
  • front is restrictive due to sway bar bracket.
  • Front can be shortened further with shortened spring though damage to valving may occur (at installers risk).
Spring Rates:
Front-
  • 5Kg (might change to 4Kg)
  • 8 inch spring
  • Front comes with upper mount
  • Brackets for sway bar link
  • Brake brackets of front casing
Rear-
  • 3Kg
  • 7.5 inch spring
SHIPPING FROM CALIFORNIA TO NEW YORK
$40


Daniel...The $1200 price he is telling you is from my email to him. The actual price I found out will be $1080.00 (before tax).

You will not be able to buy these coilovers from Apex-i USA without this group buy happening. Individual requests will not be entertained and even if they would you'd be paying overseas shipping and full pop.

Again, the only way these coilovers are coming into the US is if this GB happens.

First 12 people will get the price I stated.
Everyone else can fight over whatever is left from the lot that Apex-i USA will bring over from Japan...I think it will be like 20 pcs total.

Send deposits to goodink at goodinkclothing.com on paypal. First 12 deposits I receive will get a set, don't forget to include your user name. STARTS NOW.

I feel somewhat hesitant to send a $100 deposit to a practically new user, with no rep or iTrader status...

No offense to you Mutem at all, I am just wary to throw 100 bucks at someone I don't know without even seeing pics of these things installed on a fit...

Java, call Apex-i and verify me.

This is way more trouble than it's worth without having people do public broadcasts about my authenticity. I get where you're coming from though. Call and verify on your own, ask for Masaki, he's the GM.

Hopefully if you're happy it will alleviate any worries from users.

Just make sure you rep me afterwards.

haha, well I didn't call, but i was anxious and I figured if you would have me go through all that effort to call apex-i and verify you then you must be the real deal, unless u knew i wouldn't call haha either way, I hope this GB turns out well, im excited!

When would the remaining balance be due for these after we get the 12 people?

I would say it's between 1-2 months depending on how quickly deposits come in.

I'm giving this whole thing a 2 month time limit to hit 12 members before I refund everyone's $.

I'll be holding the deposits in my Paypal account until we reach 12 people. At that time I am going to give the money to Apex with a full list of all members and their contact info.

Then (and I think this is the best way) you guys (the ones on the list) will go ahead and call Apex and finalize payment details.

At this rate though, it seems like we'll hit 12 very soon.

JStone just called me saying he'll have his deposit in tonight. So if he comes through that's 5...almost half way there. And more than 12 people said they were down, should be interesting.

I would still call if I were you since you put that doubt out there, if not for yourself as a favor to me and for everyone else that may have been put off by your comment.
