(Apologize to those who read both this and Volvospeed forums - this is a double post.)

Just installed a set of IPD springs on my 98 V70 AWD. My car has the self levelling rears and after a bit of research, I decided to go with the IPD Sport Spring. It came with a set of longer bolts as spacers to trick the rear nivomats, so that it doesn't jack itself back up as some who have put H&R's found out (after install). Wanted to share some pics and some measurements.

End result: fronts had a 1.34" drop and rears had a .79" drop.
Exact measurements: fronts went from 597mm to 563 mm. Rears went from 580mm to 560 mm (Measured from center of wheel to lip of wheel well, I averaged the front two and the rear two measurements)

I really like the look, it closed the gap quite a bit, it sits well and tighÌ. I didn't want a real firm ride driving around the city but did want to be able to take corners faster and tighter (when the Mrs. is not in the car :>). Just driving home locally, can't feel much difference in ride in terms of firmness, which is what I want. Haven't had a chance to take it out for a real test around a corner. Will update thread once I get a chance. IMHO, she looks hot!
