Alittle update







I got -40mm 250ftlb springs for christmas The car handles much better but still doesnt sit 100% level 10mm lower on the nearside. It sits low both sides so im thinking about getting new rear shockers, as they are the cheapest thing to get. At the front the springs, shocks and spring cup have been replaced.

Put a new coolant sensor in and it runs much much better. So things are looking up for my volvo

Handling: +10
Power: +5

I tried to get new top cap bearings from our local bearing supplier, his reply was "you'll have to get them from rover" so i said "thats no fucking use!" talk about unhelpful lol! Our local autofactors didn't have any and neither could they order them in "our bloke doesn't deal with SKF" was their answer, again not very helpful. So a phone call to a autofactors 50 miles away came up with positive news. Ill be doing them in the new year hopefully.

Btw excuse the mud on the car.

nice 1! useful crimbo prezzie's i like

Ye, was a great present Not sure I want to sell the car now!

If i had the money...

i like the above picture but 300 floor pan couldnt do it

be that low? or fit those wheels under it when that low?

Be that low however you could cheat by filling the arches a bit more with larger wheels. What size did ronals come in?

Those are pictures of 15" from ebay. Fake Ronels of course!

i had mine on 195/50/15s 75mm down maxed out dampers on cut in half bump stops and about 10mm away from top of the arch, with some 40 profile tyres you might get away with it but you wouldnt have a comfy ride

I want to get 15" throwing stars, Im always looking for a set at a good price, with some 50 profile they should be ok? the rear is standard glt height and the front is -15 from glt height

like i say i was on 15s et30 50 profile as 75mm drop it didnt rub with bump stops in but there wasnt much suspension travel

Normal GLT height is -1"

So youre -1" on the back, and Nearly -2" at the front.

195/50/15 s are fine on anything down to -3" all round, so youve loads of room left yet Evoman.

Getting lower than -3" will mean work mind.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ thats what i was trying to put over but i did it rarther badly

haha!, cheers guys my nearside wheel still hits the top of the arch. That side doesnt have a bumpstop, but the bumpstops arent very meaty so i dont see how it would make a big difference

they do mine did the when i forgot to put on in even cut in half it stopped it hitting the arch and bottoming out the damper
