Lowering the C70 C70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Benny on  Sat Feb 24 16:33 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My C70 has been lowered about 1" in front and 1.5" in rear. Also Bilstein shocks and springs, IPD sway bars, and IPD skid plate. Ride is harsh on bumps and bad roads and clearance is hard on steep angles. Some of this is partly due to 18" tires and stiff suspension. But I don't use the car for everyday driving. It's my once a month mountain twisty toy and some track events like Laguna Seca. The total pacakge makes handling far different from normal Volvos. But it seems foolish to do it for cosmetic reasons instead of running at the track. I can e mail you a photo separately.
