Title: Best deal on WALK + Rear ARB
Post by: RagingKileak on May 23, 2011, 01:43:45 pm

Hi all,

Seeing as noone seems to want to participate in a Group Buy for either of the above (Vendors NOT buyers that is) I thought I would do a quick post and see what the best deals are.

The WALK is a one horse race so it's an easy one - what's the best deal on a WALK currently available? Looks like about £170 delivered to me. Anyone know of a company that beats that and if so, who?

Rear ARB's.... Lots of options out there - I don't want an adjustable one (I won't ever adjust it) but I do want a quality bit of kit and I don't care much for the usual arguments of thickness vs tensile strength etc... A good one (Eibach, Whiteline, Bilstein) will do me as long as there are some solid reviews out there.

Any idea's/suggestions and whats the best price supplied?

I'm HOPING this thread might help a few people out - especially regarding the WALK. If there are a number of people after one NOW, that might even help us secure a better price... I'm happy to organise, but make yourself known in the thread and I will make enquiries with the companies that look best!

Thanks
Matt

Where can you get the WALK for £150?

Mistake. £170 delivered is the best I have found. £150 is what I usually see used ones go for!

Thanks, but not that helpful unless you have one mate :)

They pop up on here and are gone in under 10 minutes. What we need is a sustainable source of new ones at a sensible price.

Unless you can arrange a group buy, then i doubt you'll find these at a cheap price.

Awesome GTI 168GBP

Dunno if it helps but got mine off Awesome's ebay advert where it was £165 plus posting.
Ever so slightly less than their website.

Did check Balance Motorsport too but seem to recall part + post totalled up past Awesome price.
It's all in the same general price ballpark though.

Now I've ordered expect some fab Group Buy to happen now then....

I wouldn't worry mate, I'm not that patient and this thread seems to have confirmed what I thought! :)
