muscas1568908303 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Guys,The time has finally come for me to replace the stock suspension as my front shocks are leaking.I have been following the AWD suspension saga on and off over the past few years.Am I correct in saying that the KW Varient III "AWD" compatable suspension system is available?I checked on the IPD web site, http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?Cat...&RootID=629however this is not for the AWD cars.I called KW suspension in the UK, but they do not do a kit suitable 1997 - 2000 AWD cars.So please tell me what is the final work on this KW "AWD" kit, is it available, if so from where and for how much?Up untill about 6 months ago I had been talking with Jim, but he seems to have gone the way of the dado bird.Hope to hear from you soon with good news.Many thanks in advance.Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVL WAGN Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hey Patrick...there is a link here somewhere about a guy from the Netherlands using the Intrax coilovers and liking them very much. I think he is called laserblue2000 or something to that effect.If something is completed and finalized...I think a group buy is in order!Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRL Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 There seem to be several alternatives.I'm about ready to do something, however not sure as to what yet.Jim who?Not me I hope and it's a DODO bird, not dudu or whatever you wrote JRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 KWV2s not V3s, and yes they will be available. Are they now, I don't know. Go w/ intrax since KW has horrible customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laserblue Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yup the guy from the Netherlands It's really top quality as you can see in the pics (in other topic) europeantuning.com has the exclusive sellingrights (is that proper english? )grz.Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go w/ intrax since KW has horrible customer service.OK, that is a good start, version 2 will do. Sorry to be a pain, but do you know when they will be coming out?Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ünderstüdy Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 V2s are out, not sure for AWD cars though. Call iPd and ask for Scott Hart, tell him you are on V70R.com and are a tuner, hell steer you in the right direction.I have a 99 laser blue and will be going with the same kit Hubert is running. The Intrax kit, i have emailed European Tuning and Marc seems to have the right answer for all my questions, so thats teh reason why imgoing with it. Word on the street is that it is a full race kit, and can be ran extremely stiff..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Karloff Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Can you let us know the final cost in UK money and some pics once you take delivery Patrick? I'm swithering whether to save the mega bucks for the Ohlins kit from Volvo or go Intrax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ünderstüdy Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 OK guys, Intrax it is!I spoke with Marc from EuroTuning yesterday afternoon and we just need to sort out payment etc. 25% up front to get things rolling.3 week lead time to manufacture.When we get this kit I reckon we need to determine who has it fitted so we can use each other as a pool of information.My understanding from Marc is that another Laser Blue in Holland is having this kit fitted today!Thanks ever so much for the advice you have all provided me with.PatrickNo prob patrick. I plan on this kit as well, is it possible to max out the front and rears and take a pic?? i wanna know how low these can go. GOod luck and i cant wait to see pics.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ünderstüdy Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Brian / Rob, No problem.I plan to take the dimensions very carefully of the original suspension. Personally I don't need to go any lower, however I can find out just how low it does go for Brian's benefit.So I guess after I part with my money tomorrow it will take 3 weeks to reach Euro Tuning and then a further few days to reach the UK.This site has been the most informative on the web so I will start a thread for those owners going the Intrax route, I am keen to use all likeminded users as a pool in information. We can all help each other to get this coilover set just right.I special thanks goes to LaserBlue, without him I don't think this would ever have happened!Very best regards to you all.PatrickSounds good Patrick, cant wait to see the wagen once its dumped. Keep us posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laserblue Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hmmm. Thought I had something special, something exclusive..... no problem guys The main point for me was the great service marc's providing and the excelent buildquality and adjustability of Intraxkit.And Brian my car was so low I couldn't stick my finger between the wheel and the car kind regards,Hubert.
