Well, i just might have to put off replacing the radiator and try the sealant stuff for short term... Weitechs have gotten only good reviews from what i've seen...much better than the bilstein hd's.

I'm pretty interested in a set for a wagon....especially if we get a few others to join in!

What kinda timeframe are you looking at for payment and getting the parts shipped?


if you and i are in, that means 3 more folks and we'll get them for a bit cheaper.

i'd also be interested in time frame.

If we get 10 people what are we looking at like $600 instead of $650? Or we talking a deeper discount? Depending on the final price I might be in for a kit.

I want the springs at least.

If any of you are on the fence with this, don't be jump to the weitec side. You won't find a better deal than the one Greg has worked out for us and you would be very hard pressed to find a better product. Don't think that you can find them on your own either I'll tell you right now you can't. Unless you got family in Germany or something. Heck I work right next door to SHOX.COM and they were "weitec what?" when I asked them about them. Greg has the connection and the the price. You would be smart to get in on his group buy.

Hey Greg...are you the only one that has put the wagon set on the wagon instead of the sedan kit on the wagon and vice versa?

Also, do you have a group buy deadline date, so we can get The ball rolling on this?

No, 1 other maybe 2 has put a wagon kit on a wagon and loved the results. Ken put a wagon kit on his 855 and hated it. I swear I posted the deadline last night, but I was having connectivity issues with my network so it must have not posted...
Lets do this, lets try to have the money in NO LATER than April 30 so that I can order the kits on May 1st. This sound good guys? That's more than a week to get your money into me.

correct, 650 is not shipped. The 40/40 kit isn't a 40/40, it's a 35/35. I sent weitec an email about that.

You guys need to remember that Sea Frieght takes 4-8 weeks! So if you are in a hurry, it's going to cost an additional 39 bucks to ship them via Air.

QUOTE(Ivanfbi @ Apr 19 2006, 09:42 PM) View Post

around 50 bucks to you. Shipping to LA is going to be about 45 bucks, so I figure it should be about the same for you.

Also, guys, if you could post what kit you want for your car. Please list the kit and the car you have. thanks.
854/S70: Vo032gt is the sedan kit(if you want to sit lower in the rear on your sedan, order the wagon kit ie 028gt)
855/V70: Vo028GT is the wagon kit(if you don't want the wagon kit on your wagon order the 032gt kit ie sedan kit)
C70: Vo033gt

Wouldn't the wagon kit on a sedan make it sit higher in the rear instead of loweR? I would think the wagon kit has stiffer or taller springs in the rear to compensate for the extra weight in the jerk end. Wouldn't the lack of this extra weight make the rear of the sedans higher compared to a sedan kit?

Greg sent you payment via DHL today you should have it by sat or monday. Also I decided on the wagon kit for my wagon #Vo028GT. What the hell if I'm going to lower it I might as well LOWER it. I included shipping address and kit selection with my package to you also. Thanks.
