Post BREMBO Brake Kit GP

Background info on the Brembo Brake kit is here:
http://www.f150online.com/f150board/...ML/005521.html
http://www.f150online.com/f150board/...ML/009133.html
http://nloc.org/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000592.html (end)

I am working with Steeda on a group buy... I spoke to them early last week and asked them to give me qty. discount pricing. They called me on Friday and said that they needed a few more days to work out all the details.

This deal only applies to the F150 2WD / Lightning kit... the 4WD kit is a completely different kit - discounts on one kit do not apply to different kits
The Brembo part numbers:
p/n 131.9002A -- 97-99 Ford F150 2WD / Lightning
p/n 131.9017A -- 2000+ Ford F150 2WD / Lightning

The kit is a complete front brake upgrade, including the bigger brakes, mounting hardware, Paget pads, and stainless steel brake lines (front only).

The qty (1) price is $2995... by far the best price I have found... and we should save even more off this price.

While I am working on pricing and details on how to order, please post here if you are 100% interested in getting this kit. I want to have a count ready for Steeda.

Unhappy

hmmmf... setting up group buys is as painful as everyone says it is... I'm not real happy with the terms... but here they are:

First: My $2995 price is old. Sorry about that. Steeda informed me that Brembo raised the price on these kits in January. I of course did not believe them and called a couple Brembo dealers and Brembo directly... they all confirmed that at the end of Jan the price was changed from $3600 to $3795 for '00 and to $3695 for '99.

Next, we cannot combine quantities of '99 kits and '00 kits. They are different part numbers and have different prices.

If you're not in Florida, no sales tax. Shipping to Calif is approx $50-60, less if you're closer to Florida.

Finally, to give us the savings, they want to save on their overhead and want one person to place the entire order. They will ship the orders to different address.
I can certainly place the order on my credit card, but people have to get me the money?! Please let me know your thoughts on this...

Anyway, the prices:

[Dreamin],
Here is your updated quantity pricing on the Brembo brake
kits. Please note that Brembo has just had a price
adjustment recently.

P/N 131-9017A (List is $3795.00) 2000 Lightning
1) $3,295.00 each
2-4) $3,095.00 each
5-9) $2,995.00 each
10+) $2,895.00 each

P/N 131-9017A (List is $3695.00) 1999 Lightning
1) $3,195.00 each
2-4) $2,995.00 each
5-9) $2,895.00 each
10+) $2,795.00 each

The quantity pricing is only good if all the kits are ordered
by and paid for by the same person at the same time.
We can ship to the other addresses if you would like.
Order is non-cancelable once it is placed and order must
be pre-paid.

Please feel free to call me with any other requests.

Thanks,

You could set up a Paypal account for the transactions.

We are in the same area so I can give you the money in person Thursday or Friday of this week. Do they have the kit's in stock? If not when can they be delivered.

I am a verified member of PayPal... meaning they know more about me than I do.

Brembo has the kits in stock... so that's less than a week to Steeda, and then less than a week to us.

Bolt and I are definetly in...

bggroth... blacklight... you guys out there? Nathan?

Exclamation

weandog: Bolt and I are impatient types... I'd like to know who's in or not in the next couple of days...

But whenever you're ready to order, you only need to find one other person interested.

If they dont fit the 99-00 wheels, I dont want em. The 01 wheels are ugly.

Also, who made the kit with the AP racing calipers? Is that the Brembo kit? I ask because from what I hear, AP racing is the only way to go.

At any rate, I have to get my tax refund back before I buy anything

Nathan... AP definetly makes good calipers... but I'd argue that the Brembo calipers are on par with AP. Wilwoods I'd say are a notch below AP and Brembo. The good thing about Brembo is that they have a lot more race and street experience / applications, whereas AP has more pure racing applications. And I'm not quite ready to make my L into a pure track car.

Anyway, Stillen uses the AP Racing calipers. But that kit move the front wheels out about an 1". Having the wheels stick out past the fenders was a deal breaker for me.
