I've just bought Koni reds for the 3.5 (front dampers with anti roll bar fixing for future use)

Now here's the issue, got sent Mk4 Koni springs by accident, and the replacement I've been sent are Mk3 Lesjöfors Lowering Springs....

I've done a bit of googling and apart from finding out that they are the dogs vestibules when fitted on Volvos, I read they are branded also as B&Gs and Kilen springs.

They are TUV approved, which I know is very kick ass, so tell me, what do you think? Keep them and take the risk? or throw my dummy out the pram and demand Koni's? I am after a ride less harsh than Gmax, but I guess my damper choice has covered that one..

(at this moment I think I may have a good deal here, the couple of price comparables I've found on google, albeit for volvos and saabs, seem more expensive than the konis)

Anyhow, I've given up trying to research them and I'll let the expertise of this fine forum make the decision for me.

Help etc.

The springs are often contracted out to different manufacturers, but to the designers specification. For example Bilstein use 'Terra'.

I wouldn't worry too much, most items made in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany are of exceptional quality, they're all fantastic engineers!

i wouldnt trust the springs koni provide, even the company themselves recommend eibach springs

the springs koni use for their kits are budget items
