Default Group Purchase?

Real simple, what do we want to really see as a group purchase? What are we craving? Exhausts? Wheels? Body Accessories? What do you think?

Wheels would be at the top of my list, followed by B&M shifter (ripper, after C6 stock **** adjustment is made) and lets not forget gears (3.90's or 4.10's)

Not ready to buy now but a Haltech stinger intake and cold air combo would get my attention in late fall.

Would anyone be interested in big brake kits by stop tech as a group purchase?

I was thinking Iforged...something along that line. HRE has some nice looking rims as well, but I'm not up to speed on their quality.

I was looking at doing a group purchase on some hawk performance pads. Is this what your thinking of?

We are also going to be doing some big brake kit group purcahses. The kit comes from stop tech.

I'm not sure if they are considered high performance but from what I hear the ceramic pads create much less dust. Are the Hawk pads ceramic? I also will not be needing your services regarding what I discussed with you and Bellino. They are sold but thanks anyway.
