DRP Front Hub Bearing Spacer Group Buy

Post by aspitfire »

I have been in contact with DRP Performance Products. I have sent them an extra hub, spindle and a new set of bearings to have them build a custom bearing spacer for our cars. They offered to do a bulk order and reduce the cost to get these manufactured. Right now each one will cost $85/each ($170 for the front set) the reduced rate would be as follows. 4pcs=$75/each, 8pcs=$70each, 12pcs=$65 each. I am purchasing a set regardless of the cost, just figured if anyone else was interested we can purchase them all together. I would be more than happy to arrange the group buy, and I can either arrange for funds to be paid to me, or DRP. They told me if we are not 100% satisfied with their products they can be returned for a full refund.

For more information on the company and their product(s)

Feel free to post or pm me if you have any questions.

Sorry to be the dumbass but what exactly is a bearing spacer? I have never used or needed one...bearings fit into the hub without a need for a spacer...?

I never knew I needed them either, but I watched their YouTube video, and now I think I do.

Yes, I wasn't familiar with them myself either, check out the video, it does a lot better job of explaining than I can.

So right now with fj20spl311 we are at the 4PCS, $75/each price. Two more sets and we will go down in price again.

Sent you a PM.

One more person and we will be down to $70/each. I'm thinking we will give this another week or two and purchase with whoever we have. Unless there is more interest by then.

i'd like a set. Did they say if they keep the machining info on file if we want to order another run at a later date? I figure I'll be at least a year before I start on my second car in earnest. How about a time frame to get this first run? Either way, I'm in for one set now. Thanks.

I spoke with DRP today, and they said they will retain the file for future spacer orders. Pricing would be the same as above 2pcs=$85/each, 4pcs=$75/each, 8pcs=$70each, 12pcs=$65 each

Thanks for your work on this. Have you decided on a payment arrangement or should we go directly to DRP?

They will accommodate either. I believe everyone so far is just going to send me the funds and i will gather addresses and places the bulk order.
