lowering 200

posted by  someone claiming to be M.P. on  Thu Feb 27 09:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi

Couple of days ago Iīve seen a nice 245 on the road which had a somehow unique appearance. It was lowered but the front end was slightly deeper than the rear end.

My problem is, that I have the nivomat ( rear shocks which could be filled with compressed air to keep the rear axle on a constant horizontal level when heavy load or lots of passengers are transported ) installed on the rear axle and none of the sport shock suppliers offer such a system. So I canīt lower the car completely because then I would lose the nivomat.

Now my question is:
Can I lower only the front end and keep the stock Volvo spring/shock combinationon on the rear axle?
If this is possible, what are, or are there any possible problems of such a modification?

PS: the car is a 1989 245!

Thanks for any input!

Ciao -- have a nice day

M.P.
