It's been a couple of years since the last group buy so I figured there would be some interest in what I'm tossing together.
I got the okay from Chris @ IPD, I got the okay from Ron @ IPD.....now it's time to judge interest.
I personally will be purchasing the V70R setup because I want that 28MM Rear.
I'm willing to bet this would apply to ANY FORUM INTERESTED. Not specifically R Forum specific but you guys and gals are my people so here is where I shall preach.
Do the IPD end links have any huge advantage over the Meyle HD ones? The Meyle ones cost less than half as much and I figure I might as well replace mine during the sway bar install.
My meyles started making noise after 1k miles. Upgraded to the tki front links. Still running the meyle rears though and they make noise occasionally. I have no experience with the ipd links though
FWIW, I've been having great luck with my ipd HD endlinks. I've been running them since my stockers started making noise at 60k in the front and 70k in the rear.
I'm new to the forum, specifically as I have just bought a 05' VR, and am wanting to upgrade my suspension. I stumbled upon your group buy and wanted to get in on this, but wasn't sure what all I can put on the buy list, and how I would pay for my order per-se? Also, since I happen to live in Portland, would I be able to pick up my order from IPD directly?
The way this usually works is once I get the okay for the ACTUAL Group Buy they will work numbers....this discount code will be available for you to put in on their site for the given item. If you live in Portland, I'm almost positive they would work something out with you with regards to a pickup.
the following is what I want to update on the VR. If I can get a discount on all of it, that would be great, however I'd gladly take just the discount on the #110416 Anti-Sway Bar Kit alone.
109319 Aluminum Skid Plate P2 S60
120941 Front Brake Pad Set Ceramic
121638 Adjustable Rear Alignment Kit
120859 Front & Rear End Link Kit - P2
110797 Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit P2

This is for the front and rear....I do have a few waiting on an answer from IPD as to whether they will split up the kit and sell just the rear. If you would like me to put you on the list for that please confirm.
Well guys it's official...I sent off the email to Don today!
Very excited to receive one back and seriously I'm stoked with how this FEELER thread turned out within simply 3 days of running it. I'm pretty sure 30 individuals is a record broken on Swedespeed for a group buy! Each and every one of you made it happen. I got pretty in depth within the email with regards to the wants and needs of each individual within this buy, I expect something very satisfying with the number of individuals that we have interested in this product, a lump sum of over $13,000 in sales in this buy alone at full price. Definitely not something to be overlooked.
If anyone else wants into this group buy please let me know, there is still plenty of time to become part of the madness!!!
Thanks for the post BMac_R, it looks like we have some good interest in the buy.
What I see here is a buy for both of the R kits. There is one kit for the S60R models (25mm front/25mm Rear). The second kit will be for the V70R (25mm front/28mm rear) track spec kit.
I want to make it known that the 28mm rear bar is not intended for the S60 and we don't recommend this and it will induce over-steer. For some this is expected but for most this can be unnerving and dangerous during abrupt maneuvers.
That being said, choose wisely.
I will work on some pricing and post that as soon as I can. I haven't read all of the posts but we want to make this work for everyone so I am limiting this to the two kits only. The buy will be for full kits only and individual bars will be sold on a case by case basis. Group buys need to remain simple and easy to process and when the water gets muddy with special requests, it is difficult to do them so we must keep this simple.
International shipping is possible and we can facilitate that without issues. I will report back with the prices and the instructions later today.

Thank you kindly for your response. I was thinking about what you said regarding the V70R kit and I believe it's best everyone consider your two options. As stated the Kit will induce oversteer in the S60 Platform.....this can be unnerving and unwanted by some drivers if they are not experienced enough. Carefully consider your level of expertise....do not jump on the bandwagon because everyone else is getting the option. Personally I want the kit because I want to manipulate the oversteer to my advantage.
Everyone please weight in and send me a PM so I can update the list, this will keep the thread uncluttered.
Thanks for making everything move smoothly guys!
