I have a 2001 volvo s60 base model automatic. Whats the best lowering springs for these cars. I dont mind spending a little extra for top of the line parts
will having just lowering springs damage other stuff. or should i buy coilovers when i can. is doing this the same as a s60 t6 r design ??
Awesome, didnt find your video yet. I had struggles with the rear springs on my S80 2.4T, so will take up this tip!
How did it ride with the stock shocks? Also is this a type r with the different valving?
What Volvo guys calls stiff suspension we call luxury ride suspension SMH.
Awesome video man, excited to be installing some Eibachs on my V70R
Not too much, not too little lowering, spot on, or lagom as we say in Sweden! I want to lower my S60 from 2012, which brand did you use?
At 3:50 I found it very difficult to get the bolt out and also to place it back, I tried rising, lowering the arm, but there was still lots of pressure on the bolt. In the end I added a second jack under the wheel (where the shock bolt goes) and lifted several inches while the man jack under the arm lifted only a little. With the two jacks I could finally find a position where the bolt came out, but I did struggle a lot. Same when placing the bolt back, it was even worse, I had to lift differently with the two jacks. The worse is my car lifted off the jack stands doing this. Placing the spring back is also difficult, had to place the rubber insulator on the spring, then lifted the arm to seat the spring properly at the bottom. Also, at the bottom the tip of last coil has to engage in a groove, look carefully inside the arm to locate this groove otherwise the coil will break when driving. A warning for those who want to try, go rather using a good quality internal spring compressor – don't get cheap chinese ones, those have two pins that break easily and the spring goes flying, see Amazon for pictures.
Dam, so it only lowered the car a 1/2"? Can you cut the springs to make them go lower?
Could you please show me safe spot for jacking points and where to put jack stands on this car? I've been able to just lift up the car with the jack, but unsure of where to put the jack stands.
