Increasing Ground Clearance for Snow V70-XC70 98

posted by  someone claiming to be Ted Burke on  Fri Nov 30 00:00 CST 2001 [RELATED]

We have original size snow tires and rims on a '98 V70 with the Tracs feature. We find the low ground clearance a problem in anything over 5" of snow. Is anyone aware of a way to raise the car other than by increasing the tire size?

Many thanks

Overload springs, check out www.ipdusa.com, go to the FWD section and the suspension information. They should raise the car by an inch or so. (designed to keep the car level when carrying lots of weight, hence overloaded)

Good Luck,

Scott
