Time to start thinking again about a spring Group Buy for FocusCanada.net members ... and two questions come to mind right away:

1. What might you be looking for, and

2. When is the right time to take delivery of our parts.

Starting with #2 I'd like you to answer this thread's poll ... there's no obligation to actually participate in the Group Buy when the time comes, but the essential question is "when is the right time to take delivery of group buy parts?" and everybody's input is welcome.

As to #1 ... in the past I've segregated the Group Buy into headings like "Brakes" and "Suspension" etc etc ... this year I'll be doing it a little different.

First, I'll be listing the brands available to us via a wholesale distributor in California (brands listed below and next post) and then I'll be asking for part numbers to quote prices on ... Focus of course, but non-Focus too.

This method does 2 things: it significantly increases the parts available with discount, and it also reduces the quotation process to just those parts that are wanted.

So ... if you think you might want something for your ride this spring, please participate in the poll and check out the brands below and on the next post.

If you have any questions please post them up here.

Cheers.

i agree with jamie on torsen diff's. and rear disc conversion again, wish i had the money back then to get'em on the last group buy.
maybe even cams or cam gears would also be a good group buy in my opinion.

Did you not send in your warranty card? If you did, there's a warranty on the systems as its 304 steel and we should have your name on file.
