in Canada, bring means take

another reason..

ken's right

you maybe be correct that my aging oem ones might have died

but members here have installed 3 or 4 suspensions in their cars within a short period and can tell the difference

so bring your cynicism elsewhere

I think you mean, "take your cynicism elsewhere" but hey, who's counting. :P

Could someone give me an estimate about how long these things last?

a millenium minus 998 years plus 8 years minus 2 more.

they had an older version?

+1

It's a big leap of faith to assume the shocks are remanufactured when they leave all the OEM stuff on them. If their website talked about re-engineering then fine. Or if Sachs had anything to do with KW (I don't believe they're owned together) then one would think "ok they simply rehoused some stuff" but to get a box with clearly branded OEM parts and a few springs for good measure... for a lot more money... I'm not that trusting.

I await Weitec to prove me wrong, and if they do great I'm wrong I can live with that (it's not a new experience for me lol). I just don't want to find out later I spent more than I needed to returning my car's handling back to the way it was when it came out the factory (which might have been awesome for all I know) when I had been expecting to purchase a true aftermarket product that changed my handling from the stock setup to something better.

FFS If they'd just painted them another colour I'd have been happy LOL

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:

what kinda question is that? :lol:

Sure, I'll teach you how to play.

the La Plata boys will school you sucka!

That's cool man, I have no issues with you I'm just saying for the people like me who spent some time researching what suspension upgrades to get that this is my experience of Weitec. Thought you should all know that buying the Weitec F springs and sourcing the Sachs shocks, in my case, would have saved me big bucks and I would have had EXACTLY the same product. I think that's valuable comment?

absolutely.

Like I told you in the PM I sent you, if you think it's a scam, send them back, get your money back. Talk to your distributor or to kw/weitec and let them know you are displeased. I'm sure someone is willing to give you a refund provided you didn't mount them yet. At this point, I don't know what else to tell you.

Haha, my friend I can see that your shocks don't have the Sachs Super Touring sticker on them. I would say that if I peeled off my sachs sticker (still leaving the weitec one above it) I would suggest to you that they would then be *identical* to the ones in that photo. Right down to the cheap OEM sheath that covers the rear shock.

edit: OMG you can actually SEE on your right front shock where the original Sachs sticker was peeled off!!!!!!!!!!!!

actually, that's a stamp partially covered up by the sticker. I sent you a pm btw. Also, if you put a Koni, bilstein, Sachs shock next to each other, they almost all look similar in the body, usually the difference is on the shaft.

Hey guys, I'm Martin from sunny England and am pzorb on volvot5.co.uk

I just took delivery of the Weitec lowering kit, and the shocks are branded as Sachs Super Touring?! People, I can buy all the parts for this kit for around $200 cheaper and it'd be EXACTLY the same stuff.

Has anyone else with Weitecs seen that the shocks in the kit are standard OEM volvo parts? Shocking!

The last shippent of shocks I had came with the sachs brand shocks, so this is new. I've been discussing this with my distributor and am waiting an answer.

You can see from this pic that the shocks you have and the shocks I recieved with the first US kit are not the same.

Ohhhhh the irony.

It's been pointed out once before, now get out of my thread.

old people.... I would rather be somewhere else, however, I will be there on behalf of my employer... Volvo. I have no say in this matter, but I do get a new set of wheels.

edit; sorry to whore up your thread Greg. I know you have worked hard on it, and it shows....

it's ok, you're half canadian, you can't help it.

stupid work now prevents me from a lovley 9 hour drive down... I'll be chillin' with super cool rwd guys and all their p1800's and pv544's... pray for me.

plus, they're canadians!

I would go if i wasnt doing my turbo swap this weekend(finally) and working on the new C70. It would be nice to meet some of the "official VS NE crew" for once even though your not really NE at all. postpone this bitch a week so I can go.

I already did that once, it was supposed to be this past weekend. :monkey:

:)

Congrats and Good luck with the new job, Kevin.

Ditto

sounds like a good time

It is, but I'm all out of flares.

hey vdub guy, do you sell those cool shirts that have green sleeves and white in the middle so it looks like you sewed two shirts together to make one? I want one!

can't have it

I would (like $380 for the pan), but then I'd have to get it towed to wherever I'd do the work. Besides, I think it's too late and my dad already authorized them to go ahead and do it.

Laser jammers.

380 for the pan and 500 for labor on a job that takes an hour tops?! Plus oil and gasket material, but still..

Koons wants $981 plus tax for the repair. A new lip is $295 from EST plus shipping. Mother farkin rocks on my mother farkin highway.

holyi shit! Just buy a pan and put it on yourself, it's really f'ing easy..

bump

That effing blows adam, but thats the price you pay when riding low. My buddy with a slammed vw has put 2 oil pans on now.. ;)

On What?

if you bring Chunk

Can I come?

depends
