I agree with Drew. If a group ship to S.F. isn't financially ridiculous, then I'd prefer direct shipment closer to home.

On that note, Drew, I'm in Noe. Maybe the other S.F./Bay area folks can chime in and we can figure out what location makes the most sense for the group ship.

I'm in PacHeights so let's just sort that out when they get ti WI. At this point, while slightly less efficient, it's prob less confusion to just have them shipped to WI and get them shipped here in one lump sum.

Martyn sent me a quick picture. He says he has 80% of the stuff in already!

It looks wrapped well.

**drew138** · 03-19-2008 03:45 PM

Hard to imagine that the wrapping matters much as the punishment these will get on our cars has to be more than what could happen in-transit.

Hey all,

Noob to this forum - but found the link from audiforums, and looks like i just missed the GB. Darn!

However, if any of you are trying to get rid of your S-line springs, i'd be happy to discuss. I'm in socal, so it'd be great to find a fellow west coaster (for the sake of shipping). Feel free to PM me or respond here. I've got the basic premium setup right now, and I don't want to go as low as the eibach sets things - so i think the s-line might be a nice middle ground. Thanks all...

**A3_yuppie** · 03-19-2008 08:15 PM

Groverarms: I am in So. Cal., and if you are interested in my used US S-Line springs, let's talk after I get the European ones from Glen.

**jerseyrat325** · 03-19-2008 10:07 PM

<----- Guinea Pig

I've got a set of US ones in my closet right now...

**steven7677** · 03-21-2008 01:56 AM

hm... i guess im too late?? or is there gonna be another group buy soon??? im down for it for sure

**WISVW** · 03-21-2008 07:55 PM

Too late for this one, sorry!

Update before I leave for a week: Martyn said he should have all the parts in on Wednesday or Thursday next week (26th or 27th). He hopes to ship to us on the 27th or 28th. I will have a tracking number then. I'm not sure how long they will take?

I'll only need a day or two to repackage and send out. Let spring begin!

**PaliAudi** · 03-28-2008 04:39 PM

What's going on with the springs Bump!

March 22-29 I will be on a beach in Mexico , and have limited computer access. That way the springs should be here about when I get back, and I can begin distribution!

The man is on vacation.

**WISVW** · 03-30-2008 10:32 AM

Hey everyone I'm back!

Martyn sent me an email on the 25th saying everything should be sent out by the 28th. So far I don't have a tracking number or an email confirming they've left. That was VERY disappointing to come home to.

I sent Martyn an email yesterday to get an update. I will let everyone know when I hear something.

**A3_yuppie** · 03-31-2008 02:59 PM

No prob. Glad you're back.

**WISVW** · 03-31-2008 09:40 PM

I hate to raise this thread up with no new news, but I want to keep everyone up to date.

I'm disappointed I did not hear from Martyn@Vagparts yet. We are kind of in limbo land right now. I'm hoping the springs are shipped and I just haven't received confirmation yet (best scenario), otherwise they are still in the UK, and Martyn doesn't want to tell me that (worst scenario).

I assume he is a straight forward guy, angryrican has bought lots of goodies from him! I may have to call if I don't see an email from him tomorrow.

I've bought a few things in the last couple of weeks and only recieved an email on one of them, they are swamped, if he promised you a shipdate it's on it's way

**WISVW** · 04-01-2008 06:03 PM

Me again!

Man, busy forum today. Don't any of you work?

I did hear from Martyn. He is waiting for 1 lousy spring yet. He expects it tomorrow, and plans to ship tomorrow as well.

It lokks like about a week travel time, people have said. I'll keep up with the updates.

**PaliAudi** · 04-01-2008 08:57 PM

Thanks for keepin' us updated glen!

Hey everyone, what's up with a FSD group buy?
There was a "feeler" thread that disappeared.

**angryrican66** · 04-01-2008 09:01 PM

there are quite a few brand FSD's new on ebay with free shipping for $559

**T1noandaudi** · 04-01-2008 09:33 PM

**PaliAudi** · 04-01-2008 09:45 PM

I'm gonna check that out right now

Thanks Frank

**terje_77** · 04-02-2008 03:37 PM

The feeler for the KONI FSD group buy got "black holed." Not sure why, although I guess that I didn't follow the posting rules or something.

So my bad on that.

I did manage to get a quote of $550 shipped for the FSDs and $789 shipped for the Koni FSD/Eibach Spring Kit from importrp in CA. Shipping to Canada was not free (sorry Canadians).

Dear Moderator, please do not black hole this post! I'm just reporting.

**WISVW** · 04-03-2008 06:03 PM

OMG! The springs have shipped!

I received an email from Parcelforce with tracking numbers. the initial scan hasn't been done, hopfully by tomorrow. All 202 lbs of them should be here in a week?!

**A3_yuppie** · 04-03-2008 07:24 PM

Thank you again, Glen, for your tireless efforts. When you receive the goodies, please let us know how much (each) for customs, repackaging, and domestic shipping (including the "mounting hardware" for me).

And a note of appreciation to JerseyRat for making this possible.

**terje_77** · 04-03-2008 07:55 PM

Strong work Glen!

**Christian 2.0T** · 04-03-2008 11:44 PM

Thanks Glen!!! It is much appreciated for making this happen!!

**PaliAudi** · 04-04-2008 01:28 PM

WooHooo!
Excited!

Highly Appreciated Glen!

**OettingerGTI** · 04-04-2008 03:29 PM

Excellence in forum brotherhood. You've stored up some Karma here.

**Christian 2.0T** · 04-04-2008 05:42 PM

Great Video

**WISVW** · 04-04-2008 08:38 PM

I'm speechless and teary eyed!

No new tracking info, but I think A3Scott in Toronto said his were at his door step, before the tracking info showed any progress.

I can start figuring out all the shipping costs with the exception of import duties if everyone IM's me with their shipping info. Am I sending one box of 3 sets to San Fran, or what were you guys thinking?

Also, I have the shorter euro bumpstops already for my front, because of the FSD's, but I'm thinking I may cut down the backs now also? I still get a twisty funny bouce on certain bumps, and I'm curious if that may be the cause.

**WISVW** · 04-07-2008 10:04 PM

The springs are in New York!

You can track at http://www.parcelforce.com. Tracking number for one of the packages (there are 4) is EE441800103GB.

**WISVW** · 04-09-2008 06:14 PM

Looky what I got!!

I didn't receive an invoice for the customs duty fee with the shipment. I don't want to hold up me shipping them out tho. If everyone is ok with it, I can give you the shipping cost to get them outta here, than bill you again when I get the duty cost? I think angryrican said it took like a week to get a bill for that. I assume I can trust everyone for the later payment??

PayPal would work the best for me. I will give everyone my email when I IM them their shipping cost.

Also, I don't have PaliAudi and drew138 address yet, did I miss them in IM somewhere? If so please send again.

Let me know if I'm forgetting anything.

**A3_yuppie** · 04-09-2008 06:14 PM

Awesome!

THATS SOME OF THE HOTTEST PRON I"VE EVER SEEN

**OettingerGTI** · 04-09-2008 06:33 PM

Speaking for myself, I don't mind if you wait to get the bill and do it in one shot and ship them later. Of course this is up to more than just me and I also don't want to take up your garage space.

I still need to source some FSDs so I'm not in an immediate rush.

**jerseyrat325** · 04-09-2008 06:39 PM

From the guinea pig to the rest of you.... good luck... you're all about to make your cars the way they should have been in the first place.
