OK, so here it is... the Bilstein GP!!!!! We asked you guys what YOU wanted to see and this had more intrest than everything else so this one is the first on the list to help you guys out. Whats this GP for??? ANYTHING Bilstein makes, weather it be car or truck. Now for the details...

How does Cekret Performance do GP's? We like to get the minimum orders taken care of and get it locked in ASAP. A few days before the close of the GP we will charge the credit cards. At this time if it is a special order product, you are 100% locked in and they are yours. If it is not special order and they are on the shelf in our warehouse we will charge a 20% restocking fee. Most products to fill each GP are ordered at the end of the GP. They usually take 1-2 weeks to ship from here, but some items could take longer based on the size of the group purchase and availability with the manufacturer. Depending on the product and our available stock, some orders will be shipped from here shortly after the GP comes to a close.


If you are interested you should get your order in fast so we can meet the minimum for the GP. Minimum for this order is going to be 10 full cars. If you decide to jump in early and we do not meet the minimum there is no need to worry about hassles. Since we do not charge unless the GP is at it's minimum you have nothing to worry about.



Bilstein has MAP pricing and the prices will definitly be too low to print so there will be a lot of phone, and PM contact in this GP.


If you are interested in a specific part number, please reply with the PN, and we will get you the price ASAP.


So AF, lets get this rocking and rolling!!! I am looking forward to this so lets make it a good one!


If you want in, please reply, call, or PM me here!!!!




Please do not post the prices we quote you, because of controlled pricing that could very well end the GP!!!

Sounds good! Too bad I already have some bilsteins.

I'll get this party started....you've got PM!

are you going to be able to do/obtain the bilstein groved shocks?

mail sent .......lmk!

Sorry for the slow response guys. Some guy in a truck hit the pole outside the shop and we lost all power for the majority of yesterday and we are really behind. We have had a GREAT response to this GP already!!! I will reply to all the PM's, and questions asap. Sit tight, we have not forgot about you!!! Sorry for the delay guys.

You've got PM!

ok, we are still a little slow here, and we are trying to work out a deal where we can get stuff even cheaper for you guys. If we can get 20 cars in on this we can get an AMAZING price. How do you guys feel about waiting until we get 20 cars to end the GP if the price is right?

How many cars are in so far?

ya how many cars.. may have to xpost on other forums to get this.. but it can be done.

everyone will be wanting the GROOVED shocks though.. still no answer on if you guys can get these or not.. or if the Bilstein Sport Shocks are the option we are gonna take?

we would need to know a ballpark figure of what the "amazing" price would be so we can get people interested.. bottom line.. people want numbers..;)

shoot me a pm if you want

OK here is the deal guys, we have been a bit backed up on work here, but thats not our biggest problem. Our rep over at bilstein is gone until the 12th. This is leaving me with another guy that doesn't want to work deals with me like my rep does. So basically we are currently having trouble getting the prices we want out of them, and we do not want to do a GP with the prices too high.

When we buy 300 peices at a time we get a much greater discount, so if we can get enough people in we will go through ordering the 300 peices and get you guys your parts. That would leave us eating the cost of 200+ shocks for the time being, but if it is what it takes we might just have to do that.



If it helps us we can get this GP on anything, not just audi. So basically if we want to get this going on other boards too I am in full support of it. I am here to work WITH you guys to make this work out.


we have taken 50+ request on prices, but we have not been able to give a definite quote yet due to our sales rep problems so we do not have anyone 100% in on the GP besides myself.

oh ya, I called them to check on the grooves, they said it should be fine.

hell ya.. thats what i like to here.. keep us posted.. im sure we dont mind waiting for a good price..

Yes indeedy, I'd rather have them for a good price in July than ten buck discount to have them now. I'll wait.

So basically we won't have any ballpark costs until June 12 when the rep gets back. Too bad they can't deal with you remotely, but whatever...

We should definitely let people know about this GP via cross-posting...both on the various model forums here on AF and some of those "other" forums. Maybe try to drum up as much AF support as possible between now and the 12th, but wait until we have some ballpark prices before posting on the 'Zine and AudiWorld.

Does a 5th gear member or a moderator want to handle the cross posting? Might be better recieved from a well known member of the community.

This dude seems to think otherwise...but I digress...lets get a price quote on those shocks!

http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1123069.phtml

he just said that he cant get a price quote till june 12th, i say we put the whole thing on hold till then, then when your rep gets back we mob him with the amazing amount of requests we have, and get a set of shocks for like $10

thats pretty damn good

Its pretty close to the 12th lol, any news on this yet? I really want to hear a definitive price and I'm most likely in.

What are Blistein?

Lol....like your signature says, "knowing is half the battle"...the irony is fantastic.

Bilstein makes shock absorbers, coilovers and other suspension products for cars. Google is your friend...

I'm back from lunch, but the person that took the number down is gone and I am not sure what one it is!!!


quick update, I have been ringing my sales guy over there off the hook today, and I guess he has a lot on his palte because for the first time ever he said he would call me back instead of working with me on the spot. If I do not hear back from him by 3pm eastern time I will be calling back again. Sit tight guys, I am right along side you guys wanting the answers too!!!



Josh

omg omg this is more intesnse than the ARIF's elim71r thread..

18t, your avatar is fekin helarious

any progress cirket?

i cant waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt anymoree

cmon already

I've got 3 days at Watkins Glen in July, it'd be hot if I had new grooved shocks to take with me....

this = :eek:

I do not know what to say guys. I keep saying one thing because of what I am told, then I keep getting the run around and do not really know what to say here. It's leaving me not knowing what to say to you guys and being really really stressed out. I want to make this happen because there is just tons of intrest, and I am sure we can meet the minimum but the problems are out of my hands so I am at a loss.

I understood monday when my rep said they were backed up and he would have to give me a call back, but I have been getting the run around for 5 days now and it is making us look bad here which I definitly do not want.


Right now all I can do is apologize to you guys, and let you know I am trying to get this all settled.


Josh

so he's just not calling you back?

ORIGINAL: luvin_the_rings

so he's just not calling you back?



yeah, and then I will call him again and he will put me on hold for ever, then come back and say he has to try to clear it with his boos, then I call back because he never calls back, and says they were busy and he didn't get a chance to talk it over. I feel like they are pushing me aside like he can not come through on what he said he could.

bummer... this looking worse and worse by the post... :(

maby you should do a h-sport group buy

there usually pretty good about that kind of stuff

Any updates on this?

Has this all ready gone down or what? I would like some Bilsteins!!!!
