    Probably. :(

    I called yesterday at lunchtime EST so I probably got them first thing in the AM out west. He said it ended Sunday night, but would give me the discount. I tried calling Sunday night, but their phone doesn't take messages. Given how these seem to sell out (every time I'd looked before, they were on back-order), I doubt they 'need' to discount them.

    The last time I looked a few months ago, I had given up an ordered a OE rocker from Pelican, but haven't had a chance to install it.

      Yes, the group buy has officially ended... If there are a few straglers, Im sure we could work something out. But we cant hold the door open all day for someone who is coming late. ;)

        I have in my soon-to-be-grubby hands, a set of 12 spanking new HD rockers arms. I love the smell of machine-oil in the morning.

        Thanks Brett! 8)

            Holding up...? LOL

            The IE HD rocker arms are excellent. That's why most of the heads I sell have them installed in them. Not only that, I run them in my turbo M20 which sees plenty of abuse.

                    There's a couple guys of the e30tech side who are kind of bumping around in the dark about this right now ( http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthr...=104553&page=3 ), if someone could refer them over here, it might make things simpler. I know people have analyzed these very thoroughly already, but here's a few more pictures for those on the fence.

                    Keep in mind that Febi made their design II rockers which I've also thrown in the photo's as well (they are the middle rocker).





                    A good %80-%90 of the OEM failures have been on the eccentric arms, specifically on the underside, looking here you can see why.

                    There were initially some comments about flashing along the rocker pads, that issue has since been dealt with.

                            Rockers are currently backordered. They'll be back in stock in about 2 weeks. But with the busy season being right now, wouldn't expect a sale until late May/June.

                              Hate to bump an old thread...

                              Can we get a new group buy going?

                                Bump to try and drum up interest for another GB on these.
