VolvoC70 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Alright so my search for suspension reccomendations helped me a little bit. It showed me i'm going to pay an arm and a leg for good coilovers...Suspension thread that helped the mostAny reccomendations for the shocks/struts and springs to get a more economical price? I spent $800 on my old 3G eclipse and was very happy with the purchase. Can I touch this price and not sacrafice how pleased I am with my purchase. I want this car to be close to hammered to the ground. And yes i'm keeping the rims stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJRM2384 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I ordered Konis and IPD springs this week and was also wondering how I should adjust them for 19in Wheelsside question- would i see a major difference if I added a strut brace?

vick Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hello Im new on the site. I just bought a 07 S40 T5 AWD I have been doing some research on coilovers myself. I am located in germany so I dont know if you can get these but there is a brand called Weitec. They are pretty good they just dont make anything for the 05+. The best thing is they average about $700 and they are adjustable. Try a google search for www.weitec.de. They ship internationally and in germany coilovers are called teifergalidung. Hope it helps a little.Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the underlørd Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 yes, we're all fetched up on wietec, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
