    Default [ACT group buy] corksport hood struts

    Hi all,

    Corksport has just released their hood struts for the gen 1 mps3.

    I'm looking to buy a set soon (likely end of next week) and was wondering if anyone else wanted some?

    They're $110 + 55 each when shipped by themselves, 3 sets comes to 95 shipping (~$32 each) this is all USD obviously... Will contact CS and ask if they can do cheaper, but at the moment, that's what were looking at.

    Yes, can get gen 2 ones as well (sorry 6's, none for you yet)

    Anyways, who's interested?

    Just saying ACT cause I'm lazy and was going to get it shipped all in one parcel and didn't want to have to resend

    Was only looking at maybe 6-7 lots total, else we start getting close to the tax limit

    If there's only 1-2 people interstate, will consider it... I won't say no just yet, but will see wed/thurs next week.

    Well, that's about 6 now including interstate people...
    I'll see if corksport can do anything for us
    It'll be about $10-15 for me to ship them all from Canberra to interstate, which effectively offsets the shipping savings... Will get in contact and go from there

    been in contact with corksport, and, looks like it's best to do it on a city by city basis...
    the cost of shipping 7 of them to me, then sending them out separately is about the same as buying 2-3 for each city.
    1 = $55 shipping
    2 = $75 shipping (37 ea)
    3 = $95 shipping (32 ea)

    7 of them = 25 ea + auspost (10-15) even with a small group buy discount, it doesnt really offset the cost of auspost being expensive...
    They cant start really cutting costs till we hit 10 of them, by which point, hello customs/GST fees

    Interesting reading about the issues on MSF...Will wait a bit longer and see if everything pans out... Still keen...

    Some of the MSF guys had tried the Redline but I didn't any reason why a whole heap of them went with Corksport instead of Redline despite Redline being in the market longer with the hood struts

    ADD: just realised installation of the Redline kits involve drilling and use of a rivet gun....

    Any comments @SarcasticOne?
