Awesome value, fits like the OEM and fixed my issue. How long it will stay good is up in the air, but price wise it's hard to beat. Can help with some noises and vibration in a c30.
New Variable Timing Solenoid for Volvo V70 S40 S70 C70 V50 C30 V60 36002687
Oct 25, 2021
Fixed my CEL light for great price.
Kept getting error for this solenoid. Figured for the price it was worth a shot. Easy to install, comes with everything. Changed in about 10 minutes, fits like OEM. Fixed my check light and hasn't came back in 3k miles.
Alright, I kinda checked everywhere for reviews on these and came up empty, So I decided to dive in for the small price and check them out.
Pros:
-Much better look (imo) than stock, it's not at all slammed
-Ride is very similar to stock, slightly firmer, but not grossly hard (after alignment)
-Cost these are pretty cheap compared to other options. About 180 shipped on offer.
Cons:
-The color it's very bright, I know you can't see them
-More of of a neutral as I have had them a couple months, but the spring coils themselves on the rear seem pretty close together under load. This could mean the material is not going to hold up over time.
If you have a higher mileage cayman and don't want to spend a lot of money or your budget is too tight to pick up H&R or other these will work fine, As I believe they are very similar to Vogtland springs. Though took some dialing in during alignment. If you do this job yourself save yourself some time order some bump stops, make sure you clean and grease all areas of contact or movement, camber bolts and hats. Doing this would have saved me a lot of time going back and finding areas I was getting creaks from, not because of the springs, but due to not taking the time. You will 100% need an alignment.
In conclusion, these have worked fine for 3 months, in retrospect I should have most likely bought the H&R as they have a much more proven record. But, I can't say I am disappointed with these for their price point..
