Any update on this? I'll need to order one in time to get it delivered, fitted and get the car through the test in about three weeks' time. Will I go ahead on my own or is a group buy happening very soon, i.e. by the end of this week?

I imagine that quite a few will be needed in the next few years. I hope to remove mine later this year, and have a good fettle at it. I think mine is ok at the moment, but you never know what you might find when its taken off.

I sent Mat a PM earlier asking just that.

Having seen this i'd assume DMGRS but all in all $310 shipped to your door isnt that bad from SAIC.
That works out at £240 thats still not bad... especially if you add up the cost of removal, blasting, painting and new bushes its probably going to be around £150 so for the sake of another £90 you get a brand new item which is same day turnaround replacement. I'd be interested in these most assureadly.

I bought some strut mount bearings off ebay recently and they came from SAIC. And yes, inside the box was a chewy sweet and DMGRS calling card, so I think Mat has bought them. No doubt he'll be emailing members soon

21 sub frames is nowhere near enough anyway. Those of us committed to long term ownership of these cars will have to address subframe issues either through restoration or buying Chinese so once this initial influx of stock is gone the status quo remains.
It would be sensible to create a formal chain of communication with SIAC so that we can easily access further supplies in the future. With the ceasing of 750 production there will be no more "new" supplies and I understand the Chinese are not good at providing ongoing after sales support and there are other common parts we can use from the 750s.
