Default Which vendor willing to deal for Bearings?

Ok,, I have three bad bearings so I need 4 bearings and I need them fast! Which vendor is willing to deal. The economy is slow ya know. 4 SKF bearing units is what I need a price for. Big Group buy?

Of course I would need them by Thursday.

Are you talking about replacement bearings or the HD SKF race units?

I think the HD SKF units would be the best bang for the buck. I've seen to many failures of the stock bearing on the track.

Does Zip offer Corvette forum members discounts?

Good question. I know the SKF bearings fit 97 through 08 but not 2009. But, I'm not sure about the factory bearings. Most adds say 97-04.

The SKF is the best route, but there is not much margin in those bearings and not everyone can get them. I don't think you are going to have many people going out of their way to give those away. I have them for $349 which I believe as of now is underpriced by the purchasing agreements. I am going to have to change this probably today or tomorrow, so depending on how bad you need these you could save $40 or so per bearing. That would be a savings of $160 but I am not going to be able to offer it after I raise the price.

Thanks for the reply Justin. Your company was the only forum vendor to reply to my message. I'm not sure why I never heard of ZIP. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention. Anyhow, prior to reading this I just hung up the phone with one of the ZIP sales reps and ordered 4 bearings from your company. Thanks again, for taking the time to respond. The best advertisement for a company is good customer service. I'll certainly return my thanks by telling my fellow racing friends about your company.
