I have got a group buy started on Ross harmonic balancers. They are dead sexy as you can see and we have a distrubutor on the board who is stepping up on this. http://rawbrokerage.com/

Anyway, what started as a CA18 request has turned in to come one come all. Please reference this thread for what we are doing and if you are not 100% on this please don't jerk the vendor around.

The more people we get on board the cheaper it can potentially get.

Very interested. What's the ballpark price? I know most people on here will want one for a 25.

for the time being there is no group buy on RB balancers (Only CA and SR) since we are having a special run made for those engines.

But I am always open to group interest if it's present.

Thanks all!

I'm sorry for the confusion guys. Much like the first time I thought I had satisfied a woman, I was mistaken. I do hope you will take a look at the RB ones anyway, the price is competetive and the product sexy. Ricky is willing to work one for the RB if there is enough interest so make your voices heard, who wants to be part of that?

I don't know beans about harmonic balancers. I am, however, chewing through power steering belts lately. Will a new balancer help?

That sounds like your pulleys are out of alignment. Slap a ruler on the face of the PS pulley and see if it is aimed nice and straight towards the crank pulley.

Sexy *** car by the way, gold on white, classic

Hmm... I may have caused this by changing the PS belt myself... I've got a little bit of prep to do before HPDE this weekend so I will go check it out.

Thanks for the advice and compliment.

Matt, contact me so we can get to the bottom of that Powersteering issue you are having. Must identify what harmonic balancer you are using and which powersteering pump you are using along with bracket. This will defenantly get to the bottom of things.

Unless if you are reving high and throwing belts, then underdriving the powersteering pulley is the key.

I'm always looking for new baller parts to replace the old crap OEM stuff that I have remaining. What kind of a price range are we talking for an RB25 group buy and how do the Ross balancers compare to ATI for quality?
