  1. I don't. The spring rates aren't as stiff as eibachs and H/Rs and the valving of the yellows is probably to great.
  2. I'll be surprised if you make 250whp, just being honest. Don't see how the mods you have will net over 300 on a stock head/block.
  3. -80 unless you're on a magical dyno, oh wait, you are in Seattle. :monkey:
  4. i don't think so. There was a bullentin out for the fill level IIRC and maybe even a change to the fluid type. There is a DIY write up on v70r.com on how to change it. The reason volvo changed the fill level was because the oil was expanding to the point that it would completely fill the housing up and cause the seals to leak.
  5. flushable, you have to pump all the fluid out then refill, obviously.
  6. combos as in what? Bilstein TCs are stiffer than OEM, so the weitecs with TCs would probably be a good match.
  7. Thanks, but I think my weitec days are over. If anyone is still interested in the springs, I can get them but I'm not going to push, not that I ever pushed the kits either... I have a new product in the works, coilovers, and they should be money and a great competitor to the KWs.. I also have a few other things I'm cooking up so stay tuned. :ph34r:
  8. Well, I'm glad somebody finally returned from KW with an answer on this, my attempts have been fruitless. The entire weitec thing started like this, I had some weitec experience from my vw days and loved them, so I found out they were now selling kits for volvos. Started emailing their US distributor, Rapid Parts, asking about them and how much, etc. Rapid wanted nothing to do with them, but I kept hounding them about it. They said they would sell individual kits only, but not offer the US warranty since they knew nothing about the cars, they argued that the suspension on a S70T5 espec and a S70T5 US spec were not the same. After digging around and the help of some members on this board, we concluded that was false, I presented the evidence and waited to hear back. So after that, Rapid approached me, and asked me if I would want to sell them and they would honor the warranty and distribute them through me and only me since they knew nothing about the cars and I did. So I said sure. I ordered a kit for myself, a kit for doug and springs for kevin to try out and review them. Kevin wasn't pleased with the ride height, but was pleased with the ride of the springs only, Doug loved the entire setup, and I loved mine, still do.. As stated in this thread, the shocks were only labled with weitec stickers/decals. Since then I've had a few group buys for them since I was constantly being bombarded with PMs, IMs, and emails about them. I tried to offer what I/we thought was a great kit/product at a good price, I barely made anything on these kits and it was barely worth my time or the headache. I first raised a brow about the shocks when I installed mmetz kit for him a few months back, them TomTbone emailed with the same concerns. I emailed Rapid and got the answer of "dunno" from their president and he said he'd ask Weitec about it, never heard back. I've sent this thread to certain people asking for a reply or an answer and none have yet to reply, so I am glad somebody got back to Pzorb. Kw/weitec has been such a pain to deal with, and a few guys in the last GB know exactly what I'm talking about. This is deffenitely the straw that broke the camels back for me... Anyway, I appologize to those who have purchased the kits, I was just trying to get another product for us over here.. :(
  9. word filter owns j000!!!!!!!!! j00 t00!!
  10. Weitec and Kw have always had horrible customer service, so you haven't discovered anything new there.
  11. I didn't, in fact I was the first person to tell you to send your weitecs back. Not bad for a dumb yank huh?
  12. thats what you think, just like you did with the weitecs till you recieved.
  13. Apparetly, eibach has a developed a spring that will work with the FSD, it's probably a load of crap/scam.
  14. gotta love it. http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12892
  15. I think you mean, "take your cynicism elsewhere" but hey, who's counting. :P
  16. a millenium minus 998 years plus 8 years minus 2 more.
  17. actually, I think sachs owns KW, at least I have heard it to be rumored. Also, it does and will change the handeling, there is reason why so many people love their kits. :monkey:
