This isn't an official group buy. This is merely a list to show IR that there is plenty of intrest for a Strut Bar pro. run. They need 20 people bare minimum. Ideally 30-50 people. I don't know a price yet or when they will start a run even if we have enough people. Could be a month could be six or more.
This thread can possibly be deleted since it is not official so if it disappears don't be surprised

Reaper thank you for trying to put this together for the community.
For those who don't realize, this is probably the best strut bar available for our cars in a number of ways. In an effort to help get this group buy going, I'm copying and pasting infro from the old group buy here. I personally read this thread before but wasn't familiar with the bar and passed on it until I happened across one and thought it was a great design and great looking.
I am not affiliated with IR, only trying to provide more details for those who aren't really familiar with the bar. They also have some really awesome customization options:

Clears LS engine swaps with LS1, LS6, or FAST 92mm intakes (does not clear FAST 102mm intake). Clears LS3 intake but there is sometimes a very small amount of interference with the fuel rail, depending on your mounting kit (clears aftermarket rails no problem). Clears factory fuel rail covers.
Most 20B swaps (we have heard it doesn't clear some aftermarket intake manifolds)
Features:
SOLID aluminum bar, making it extremely stiff
All aluminum end plates for a total assembly weighing less than 4.5 lbs
Built-in master brake cylinder brace provides improved brake feel by eliminating firewall flex under hard braking
Since we now do all of our own laser engraving, we can offer the option of a custom engraving. We will no longer be engraving directly on the bar, but we will instead be engraving a small aluminum plaque that will be attached to the bar with either adhesive or small screws/rivets on one of the end plates and on the center of the bar. We can also now offer custom anodizing colors. Here are the options and how they affect pricing:
Logo/Plaque Options:
STANDARD - Plaque in center of bar with Improved Racing logo (standard) - $0 extra
NO PLAQUE - No plaque in center of bar. All bars will still have a small plaque on the end plate identifying the product with the part number, etc. - $0 extra
CUSTOM PLAQUE - Plaque in center of bar with custom engraved message. We can even engrave a logo or photo, whatever you want. - $20 extra
LASER LOGO - Laser engraved Improved Racing logo in center of bar, like the bars we made last time. Limited quantity, we have 4 of these left in stock. These are also only available in black anodized. - $0 extra
Color Options:
PLAIN - Plain aluminum finish - $0 extra
BLACK - Black anodized finish (standard) - $0 extra
RED - Red anodized finish - $10 extra
BLUE - Blue anodized finish - $10 extra
GOLD - Gold anodized finish - $10 extra
PURPLE - Purple anodized finish - $10 extra
OLIVE GREEN - This is kind of a brownish green color, used in military applications - $10 extra
Brake Master Cylinder Options:
LHD - Left hand drive brake master cylinder brace (standard) - $0 extra
RHD - Right hand drive brake master cylinder brace, for UK/Australia customers or anyone with a RHD car. We only have 4 of these left, and will not be making more. These are ONLY available in BLACK anodized finish with our logo laser engraved on the bar. - $0 extra
It's not the fanciest bar out there but it's elegant and well engineered. Right up my alley. I saw the bar first in this video and really liked how it fit with the other mods:

Looks like our prayers have been answered. They do need people or else they will cancel the run and refund everyone's money. I'll see if we can get this posted in the FS section so there are more eyes on this. We should hit the quota.
So we will have to keep this going here since I can't operate as a vendor or helping hand in the FS section. We might get more eyes in the gen discussion though?
Either way, spread the word guys!!!! This is more possible than ever!! I'm placing my order in the next few days!
Improved Racing Strut Bar interest
