DRP Front Hub Bearing Spacer Group Buy
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.

Re: DRP Front Hub Bearing Spacer...possible group buy?
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.

Re: DRP Front Hub Bearing Spacer...possible group buy?
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.

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.

Re: DRP Front Hub Bearing Spacer...possible group buy?
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.

Got you down for a set. That brings us to the $70/each price. I was told I can expect delivery in 2-3 weeks.

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

Re: DRP Front Hub Bearing Spacer...possible group buy?
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.rahjr60 wrote:Thanks for your work on this. Have you decided on a payment arrangement or should we go directly to DRP?
