SAM Steffansson Automotive AB

Yes. I've nothing but good things to say about them. Email communications are sometimes a bit laggy for some reason, but if you call during business hours you will have product shipped immediately. And it is good product.
 
i ordered back from them in 2000. didn't have any issues. Its better to call then email in my experience.
 
I like them too. I ordered via email and and parts came fast. The only thing I didn't like was that they only gave me 1 option for shipping, which was sorta expensive.

I've also heard from other guys that calling them up makes it even easier.

Yep that's right, on small orders they'll only ship air freight. the upside is you get your stuff overnight.

Yeah and mine was a small order -- just one of their billet crank pulleys. The frustration of having to pay for the air service quickly faded when the part showed up on my desk 2 days after I ordered it from Sweden.
 
Pick up the telephone and call them.

Their English is much better then your Swedish.

I am delighted with the suspension and brakes kit I purchased Edit: From Sellholm!! for my 240.

Expensive; but not a one failure and their goodies work as promised out of the box.

Their Strut bars fit like crap, after over a year and a few set of bars they finally gave up on us and we had to grind out holes in the plates to make the bars fit. The finish of them was sub par.

From a few that have had their exhaust systems they say the fit was so so, the rear muffler kept coming off.

Otherwise they have cool stickers

SAM is not Sellholm.

We visited both. Sellholm is AWESOME. SAM is a tiny showroom of shiny crap and no one who worked there bothered talking to us, so we walked around for 2 minutes and left. They didn't appear to cater to the older cars anymore, but they probably still have some parts available. Call or email to find out.

The 240 strut I bought fit like a glove. YMMV.

It could be that they are more focused on mail order. A lot of places like that (iPd included) do 95% or more of their business via phone/internet. A side effect of that is not much focus put on the showroom. Not saying that's the right thing to do, but likely that's the case. Ignoring you when you went in is just stupid and disrespectful of them either way though. I can only imagine how disappointing it would have been to go in there and have that happen.

If you ever come to Portland let me know in advance & I'll load up our showroom with 240 stuff and take you on a tour of the building myself ;-)

Yea their old 7/9 series bars fit. The last batch they made were way off. They claimed a 6 month waiting time before they could find a 7/9 series car to use to fix their jig. So we waited and then they fixed it, shipped out another set of bars and the bars did not fit any of the 8 cars they were made for or any other of the local cars.

This was in the last few years and because of that A few members stopped doing yearly GB's from them.
 
Well I'm going to have a pair of these:

Not too big an outlay so we'll see how they are.

Thanks for the info.
 
Beat me to it Mike.

We did indeed have some issues with strut braces that never got fully resolved to the satisfaction of those involved. They do have some nice stuff available, but their communication can be laggy. Some of that I believe is due to the overall nature of the swede's, with a more relaxed lifestyle than us wound-up american folk.

They also can get euro-spec lights and a lot of other OEM things that aren't otherwise available in the US.

I think Greg warned us that there wasn't much to see when he went to their place 2yr earlier. We had to track them down because they moved, but we weren't going there with high expectations.

They weren't here

But we looked up the new address and found them.
