ATE Brake Fluid Group Buy

[sperry]

UPDATE:
StopTech does not do group buys, so we will be purchasing our fluid from S-Squared... however we expect the price to remain $10/bottle.

You will be contacted via PM regarding the price of your order.

So, I think Kevin is planning on getting two cases of ATE from StopTech, one Super Blue and one Type 200 (gold). That way we'll have both colors. I'm in for a minimum of 4 cans, and will buy more if needed to make the order happen, since unopened cans keep just about forever.

Each case has 10 one liter cans. Once Kevin gets the price from StopTech, we'll split it evenly to a per/can cost.


So here's the shopping list:

2 cases of ATE brake fluid, breakdown:

sperry - 2 blue, 2 gold
MikeSTi - 1 blue, 1 gold (sperry has MikeSTi's money!)
BAN SUVS - 1 blue, 1 gold
MattR - 2 blue, 2 gold
PatR - 1 blue, 1 gold
khail19 - 1 blue, 1 gold
MikeK - 1 blue, 1 gold
TysonK - 1 blue, 1 gold
Total 10/10 blue, 10/10 gold

Additional items from StopTech:

sperry - Axxis Ultimates (02 WRX rears only).
StopTech WRX BBK, red calipers, slotted rotors. :twisted:

BAN SUVS - Slotted StopTech Rotors (02 WRX fronts & 01 RS rears).
Axxis Ultimates (Subaru 4-pot fronts and 01 RS rears).

PatR - Axxis Ulitmates (00 S2000 rears only).



Who else is in? Let's get all those cans spoken for!

Nice work! All bottles accounted for! Let's get on ordering this Kevin! :D

[Kevin M]

I'm getting slotted rotors all around, and my fronts match the WRX rotors if anybody else wants some. I'm also grabbing a set of Ultimates front and rear.

Oh yeah, 1 can of each color for me, for now.

[Kevin M]

Oh, and officially, the group buy will have to go through S-Squared. I'll give Nate the heads up, I'm sure he won't mind. :)

Um.. okay. I'm letting you handle it w/ Nate then. :P

[MattR]

I'm in for 2 blue + 2 Gold...stockin up...

1 Set Axxis Ultimate Rear pads for '00 S2000

Do they sell Cobalt pads?

Just the rears for now- I'm still making up my mind on the fronts.

You know you can fit bigger rotors under those 4 pots right? I'll be getting the larger (thicker) TWRs when I get new rotors. Thanks for the group buy AFTER I did my brakes guys. :roll:

AFAIK I'm the only one getting WRX rotors. I'm only replacing them because I sold the OE ones I got with my old 4 pots and replaced them with used BozzSpeed ones I got in my trade for the 22b 4 pot/2 pot combo. Nothing wrong with the WRX spec rotors.

[MikeK]

What is the difference between the blue and the type 200? I found this page after a quick search, but it only shows a difference in price, the descriptions are similar:

http://www.stoptech.com/cgi/Products.cgi

How much of the stuff is required to replace all the fluid in the brake system?

The difference is only in the color. And to completely flush your system, you need less than half a bottle usually.

[khail19]

I'll take 1 can of each. That should last me a while if it's half a can per bleed.

Sweet, I'll take 2 cans. I don't care what colour, just put me down for whatever you need to fill the order.

[Kevin M]

BAN SUVS - Slotted StopTech Rotors (02 WRX fronts & rears).
Axxis Ultimates (02 WRX fronts and rears).

Not quite... I have RS rear pads and rotors, and 4 pot pads up front. Only my front rotors match the WRX. :)

Um, you're the one placing the order, aren't you? I'm just trying to help ya out... don't make me make you a moderator so you can edit that post yourself. :lol:

[tysonK]

I can go in for 1 blue and 1 gold to complete the order!

Awesome, that was quick! Kevin, can you talk to Nate and get all this squared away before the meet tomorrow night? That way we can collect cash for both the BG and the camping trip! I'm guessing the brake fluid should be no more than $10/liter, right?

[Kevin M]

Okay, I called the shop and talked to Justin. Nate is out of the shop for the moment. I let them know what was up and pointed him to this thread so I/we should hear from Nate soon.

Awesome! I hope Nate doesn't have a problem ordering for our group buy. I guess we all should make sure to go to the dyno day this weekend. :twisted:

Well, MattR and I are going now fo' shur... who else is in?

Kevin, do we have a price on the items everyone's ordering? Those people who aren't going to the dyno day will probably have to give you money tonight at the meet.

[Kevin M]

Working on it. I think it will work out better to have you bring the money yourself to the dyno day at this point. I won't see them before then anyway. Besides, you're spending 80% of this money anyway, so you might as well be the treasurer. :P

I doubt I'll see anyone between tonight's meet and the dyno day, except for the people that are coming to the dyno day as it is.

[Pat R.]

Any prices / ETA yet on this? My front pads showed up today and I'd like to do all four corners and the fluid at the same time.

[Kevin M]

Waiting on pricing from Stoptech, and we need the shop to be open to take delivery. Apparently the shop is closed until next week so Nate can do some family type things. I'll be sure to let everyone know as soon as it can happen.

[MikeK]

I will be at the shop on Saturday the 31st, if it arrives by then I can bring it back to reno.

[MikeSTI]

Monday Bump!!!!!!! :shock: get too it :D

[sperry]

Monday Bump!!!!!!! :shock: get too it :D

Keving told me Nate will be back in the shop Tuesday (tomorrow). We should have the order taken care of then... which means if things are shipped quickly, MikeK might be able to haul everything back with him this weekend.

Kevin did you talk to Tim? Could you please PM me the price on those brakes, so I can make sure to have the cash ready this week?

[sperry]

We have been informed that StopTech does not do group buys.

We will be purchasing the fluid and pads from S-Squared. Hopefully this will be taken care of this week. You will be contacted via PM regarding the price for your particular order, we do not expect the price to change from $10/bottle for the fluid.

[MattR]

Any News? I need fluid soon, so what's the deal?

[sperry]

Any News? I need fluid soon, so what's the deal?

I PM'd Kevin already... I guess we're waiting on him to get out of bed and check the board still. :P

[Kevin M]

I sent the email directly to Tim, so it should get shipped today.

[tysonK]

so eventually I will have to pay for this fluid.. :twisted:

[khail19]

Me too, I guess. :shock:

[Kevin M]

It should all arrive tomorrow, or possibly thursday.

[MikeSTI]

hhhmmmm, I know I bought some of this stuff? any real word on shipment yet?

:bump: for fluid

[sperry]

I'm supposed to hear from Aaron over at the shop today. But I'm seriously doubting that we'll get what we need before this weekend's AutoX. :x

[sybir]

Nate's not in yet, I'll get you info as soon as I can, Scott.

[sperry]

Okay, I talked to Nate. He's got to get a total from StopTech so he can calculate his tax on the sale. Then he's going to charge my credit card for the deal. He's also going to try to get the fluid drop-shipped straight to my house, but since it's coming ground, unless it gets out today, I doubt we'll get it before the weekend... and even if it does go out today, we may not see it, since ground shipping from LA to Reno in 3 days isn't guarenteed.

But, hopefully we'll have the fluid at my house on Friday, and we can have a big friday night pre-AutoX brake bleeding meet. :lol:

[sybir]

Glad to hear it. I'm sorry about all the hassles, guys.

[MikeSTI]

sounds good :D

[sperry]

Well, after yet another delay, the brake fluid *finally* shipped yesterday. It should arrive at my house on Monday.

Here's the tracking number 1Z003AV44240647385 (http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&Requester=NES&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&loc=en_US&tracknum=1Z003AV44240647385) if you'd like to monitor its progress.

Sorry for all the delays... I'm not sure "better late than never" counts in this situation due to the fact we're getting the fluid *after* this weekend's autocross, but we'll at least have fresh fluid for the track day!

Here's the payment breakdown. Some of you have already paid me, this is reflected in the totals:

sperry - $0
MikeSTi - $0
BAN SUVS - $0
MattR - $40
PatR - $52
khail19 - $20
MikeK - $0
TysonK - $20

[MattR]

We have dispatched a truck to pick up the box in Torrance, I should have it in my hands tomorrow morning...*crosses fingers*

[sybir]

SuperTrucker strikes again!

Were you able to get ahold of Tim, Matt?
Sorry about this whole mess.....

[Dean]

You have to love that Motorcraft Heavy Duty... :lol:

[sperry]

Matt, you rock! Thanks for sending a truck!

This whole deal has been unbelieveable... no more group buys on stuff like this. At this point, I don't think we saved any money on the deal.

[MattR]

SuperTrucker strikes again!

Were you able to get ahold of Tim, Matt?

Yeah, I talked to Tim. I think everything should go ok

[dirtyWRX]

If anyone needs some of this stuff for the track day on Sunday, I've got a bottle that's been kicking around for a while that I would be willing to sell. I'm a motul fan now.

If the truck breaks down, I'm going to have a bad morning anyway...My only concern is that it goes to Sacramento, because that's what it says all over the box, Stoptech didn't relabel it for us...But I'm fairly confident that we'll get it right...if not, oh fuckin well. 8)

[Nick Koan]

Ah, good thing the picture of me dressed up at Superman didn't make the cut :p

[MikeSTI]

so ahhh........any chance we can get a meet/break flush going? or is it just to late?

[sperry]

Okay, It looks like pretty much every one's caught up w/ the brake fluid. Sorry I've been a little behind on this, I was pretty busy w/ the track day stuff.

I think the only person that hasn't recieved their fluid is Khail, and Pat's still gotta pay me for his fluid and pads.

So, here's the breakdown:

PatR - $52
khail19 - $20

PM me or call me (233.2549) to arrange pick up Khail! I should be around this afternoon if you want to come by and pick it up, or I can probably meet you somewhere. Or if you don't need the fluid (it has been like 2 months since we started this buy, hasn't it?), I can just pay for it myself and keep it, since I already sold all of my fluid to other people that needed it more than I did. :lol:

[MikeK]

I think the only person that hasn't recieved their fluid is Khail

Where's mine biatch? I mean ... I haven't got mine yet either :)

[sperry]

I think the only person that hasn't recieved their fluid is Khail

Oh yeah, you paid me, but didn't pick it up yet. You should drop by my place tonight as well if you'd like to pick it up. Call my cell.... I'm hoping to be home by 6pm.

If there's any chance you can bring it to the next meet, I will grab it then.

[Pat R.]

I'll give you the brake pad moneys this weekend.

[khail19]

Ditto for next meet, I'll grab it tomorrow if that's cool.

[sperry]

Cool guys, see you at the next meet... I'll bring the fluid!

[MikeSTI]

:bump:

can we get another buy going?

does anyone have any fuilds that there not using I can buy from them or replace with the group buy?

[sperry]

can we get another buy going?


The quick answer: not. a. chance.

The longer answer:

That group buy was a nightmare... in fact I don't believe the shuffle of money and wheels that ended up occuring has even been resolved completely. Plus, with all the extra shipping charges from the way the order got shuffled around, we didn't save any money... I had to take a bit of a hit in order to get the fluid to you guys at the agreed upon price.

I'd suggest ordering directly from www.StopTech.com. Or you might be able to find prices cheaper elsewhere online, but StopTech should be able to take care of you w/o much hassle if you use their online ordering page.

[MikeSTI]

so thats a f-u Mike I wont order you a case with my 20% dicount? :lol:

[Dean]

:bump:

can we get another buy going?

does anyone have any fuilds that there not using I can buy from them or replace with the group buy?If you need it today, go get some Ford. As long as you do them often, it is good stuff. Go read the Official brake Fluid Thread... (http://www.seccs.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2365)I think I put sources for all brands in there.

[MikeSTI]

I bought a case of both ate super blue and 200/gold.

when it gets here I'll post whats left for sale :P :lol:

Nice!

I just wasn't going to try and handle a group buy... like I said, the last time was a cluster fuck.

Plus, I can't get a 20% discount on fluid, since that would be below cost... fluid markup isn't that high. Same deal on certain brands of pads.
