I have a New line of Complete Crossmember/Suspesion kits coming out in a few weeks, and I need a name. Here is the difficult part, these suspension kits are dedicated as a direct bolt in unit for the 1956-73 Volvo cars. I am looking for something clever, but hints some of the swedish heritage. The problem is, they dont really have performance history.
These suspension kits includes things as Tubular Control arms, Adjustable Coil Over's, Big Brakes, Rack and Pinion steering, several Motor stand options for Resto-Mod, ect. I also have a rear suspension set up that will be coming out, as a suppimental kit.
I am looking for a name that screams upgrade and suspension, but also says it is dedicated to the swedish car company. I would like the name to be able to support a cool acronym for stickers and badges. I know there are some awsome minds on this site, and hopefully you can help..
Here is a Quick, and I mean quick idea I had.. I havent fine tuned it by no means, and planned on sending it off to someone for some tweeking.. I am not sure I can do it, because it is too close to the Volvo Badge. I was trying to come up with something that was a backhanded insult to the purist, that is the reason for the L turning into an X, it appears I am crossing out Volvo. The purist wouldnt be customers anyhow, and the mod guys are tired of listening to them bark. So I dont think the regular customers would mine it at all.
Here are the Poll choices

Here are a couple that were supplied by members here, I think they look great.

It appears you don't need any help,bro. The name and logo fits well IMO.

they do have a performance history but its not a big one. You'd have to do a search of some swedish websites.
Here in the states http://www.ipdusa.com they have been making parts for a very long time.
I think your logo should incorporate the swedish flag colors.

I am not sure I can get away with the logo.. I am trying to make the company name VOLVO-X Performance Suspensions.. Do you guys think there would be some sort of law suit? LOL

yeah, im pretty sure volvo wouldnt be too happy with you using their name as a portion of your name for your product line.
Maybe dont acknowledge volvo in your name at all. maybe specifically the fact that it is swedish would work. Like maybe Swedish Suspension Worx (SSW) or something along those lines. use the catch phrase "from sweden with love" haha. have fun with this and make it catchy. good luck. I have a softspot for classic volvos so im hoping you hit it big with your suspension and we see some PT volvos haulin a**

Well, you will see atleast two of them, and one should be competing at some events. Project Changling will be a marketing and show car for my Classic Auto Glass Innovation, along with the suspension company that is currently nameless. My 67 Amazon, is going to be a track beater (400 horsepower, Suspension kit with big brakes, adjustable suspension, Satin Paint with striping of some sort, racing numbers, 18 inch Satin Charcoal or Black wheels, and trying to work out a Swedish Flag on the roof.
I am hoping this little Amazon will make a good showing at track events, I guess I will need some practice.. I am tired of hearing what a great time the guys on here have had at the events, and I would really like to attend. LOL. Maybe I could find someone with some Experience to run the car a couple of times to get some practical feedback.. LOL

Ha Ha.... SAPP is too funny, but I think it would reflect on the purchaser, rather than the purist... LOL

I am thinking about the
eVOLVed Performance Suspension
eVOLVOlution Performance Suspension
I really like both of them, and I knew I could count on these Later-G and Pro-Touring for some insight.

Here are a couple of quick logo ideas I am capable of... haha I am not any good at this, and I am sure I can find someone to run with the tweeking of it. I like the red and grey, but the background needs to be a different color. I am looking for this general theme of a logo, but I am not an expert for sure.
I am kind of partial to the logo above, or the last one here. I am not sure I can get away with the first on at the very top of this thread, so the last one listed on this post may work best..

I don't think you should focus in naming Volvo, it should be your biggest concern, because one way or another you'll finish building the same pieces for similar cars, you decide if you wanna keep it swedish (K'sseg) or the same plattform (Euro Fords)... Anyway, good luck with the project!

I honestly dont plan on working out other European models, and this one is made for a direct bolt in fit that ranges from 1956-73 Various models of Volvo.

Here are a couple of more.. I am thinking of making the Company name ( eLution Suspension Systems ) with the product line eVOLVOlution Performance Suspension. Apparently there are alot of company's using a variation of the Lution in their names, so why not use it with this product line? I am more than positive someone can come up with something better, and I dont have alot of color choices, so please be kind.. LOL If anyone knows anyone that can run with this for a reasonable price, I think I have spelled out alot of what I am looking for..
