ATE Brake Fluid Group Buy
 

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

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.

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

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

edited your post :P

Pat R. 1 Blue, 1 Gold

1 Set Axxis Ultimate Rear pads for '00 S2000

Do they sell Cobalt pads?

Re: ATE Brake Fluid Group Buy
 

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

Sweet!



Payment details to come soon.

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?

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:

Heh, that would be a nice gesture. ;)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

Me too, I guess. :shock:

It should all arrive tomorrow, or possibly thursday.

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

:bump: for fluid

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

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

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:

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

sounds good :D

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 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

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

SuperTrucker strikes again!

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

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

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.

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

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.

UPDATE*****

Box is onboard

On its way to SWE Santa Fe Springs, CA

Will Transfer to a RNO truck tonight, and I'll have it tomorrow...

Done deal..

I rule.
