Greenchunks Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ok, so after speaking with Daryl at Shox.com, he said that he can make us a deal on a kit consisting of the brand New Koni FSD's shocks/struts and the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. I have not personally used this setup but it seems like it is the best option out there right now aside from coilovers. The FSD's have gotten great reviews and I plan on putting this kit on my car in a month or two when I have the money. For now, I just want to help all you guys out getting a nice suspension. The FSD's will not be in untill 9/20, that's September 20th so this is a pre-order. What you will do is go here: https://ssl.shox.com/order/orderform_new.phpand fill out the orer form. For product put in Koni FSD+Eibach Pro-Kit and under price put 750$, I'm still hammering out final details but I asume then that he will add on shipping afterwards depending on zip code. Fill out all the other info as you normally would. Under the comments put in Volvospeed Group Buy, or Volvo Group Buy, or jsut something so that he knows what exactly the deal is with peoples arders and that they are part of the group buy. There is no minimum amount of people that need to participate, and the price will not go lower if more buy them, This price is already much lower than anywhere else that I have found them. If you have anyquestions feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer them or find out the answer.Those who have ordered so far:I. Greenchunks2. InlineTurbo3. Alvin4. andres2882update, shipping is not free, but to CA it was 15$ and to the East Coast was 25$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightInAVolvo Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Deff a fair price... When do we need to have put the money/order in??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I may be ratarded but I thought I read on here that lowering springs F up how the FSD's work. Can someone tell me how true that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aequitas_Veritas Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 lowering springs are not ment to be used with the FSD. However eibach specifically made a set to work with the FSDs, so hopefully they will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ten four, and how well do the FSD's work on our volvos? Not able to find any reviews on here.And how much does it lower it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenchunks Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ok, as far as money being in by, jsut place the order whenevr you want, but like I said, the FSD's will not be in until 9/20. As per the FSD's with lowering springs, here is a better formatted version of the article that Koni North America released: http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/ind...nter_1802.shtmlAs per the drop, the eibach are rated at 1.2 inch drop all around on the S70's and 1.2/1.0 F/R on the 850's.

GShyneDM Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 thats a pretty decent price for a "cupkit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Complete new strut assembly or just insert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachRat Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 lowering springs are not ment to be used with the FSD. However eibach specifically made a set to work with the FSDs, so hopefully they will work.Doesn't look like they made a special set, per say, for the FSD package. I read it as they're simply pairing the two as a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InlineTurbo Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Came across this review doing a google search:http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthrea...p;highlight=fsdI may have found my new suspension setup. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thats a really good review, thanks for the link. Too bad I bought Bilstein HD's . I'll try to get my dad to get these instead of the other adjustable ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jermfrog Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 whats the difference between the koni FSD and just Sport ones? cause on shox.com it says Koni sport shocks and Eibach Pro-kit spring package is $715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Sport are stiff all the time, these ones adjust automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
