The purpose of this post is to gauge your interest, get your thoughts / recommendations for parts / brands / timing etc.
Prices should be really good this year because of four things:
1) I've been able to convince my California supplier to forego a 3% charge for credit card transactions by allowing me to direct deposit;
2) My discount is now slightly bigger than last year;
3) My wife now works for RBC and we have a US located bank account that allows me to do transactions in the US with no fees (and I can transfer funds from my Canadian bank account to US bank account at a very advantageous exchange rate and with no fees);
4) The Canadian dollar is particularly strong right now and will likely continue to be throughout the spring.
Here are the Group Buys I think make sense for spring 2011:
1) Brakes*
2) Suspension*
3) Tune up*
4) Accessories and high performance parts*
5) Rims and tires
* The first 4 could for all intents and purposes be considered a single group buy in the sense that I can offer all the parts and source them from one single supplier for the purpose of acheiving a good-sized minimum order.
So ... over to you - let me know what you think.
Cheers

Found your thread over here, thanks for the heads up! I'm very interested in getting in on ur spring order. I'm curious on prices of a rear svt brake conversion kit, also some lowering springs? Preferrably 1.5" drop no more. Also, prices on an xcal? Thanks a lot!
