Hi mate already done this on my saloon

Its not that hard although i would get some volvo struts as the aftermarket one`s don`t seem to be upto the job as i found out when i used a set of aftermarket ones also make sure you get the "with spoiler" ones if youv`e got a boot spoiler

Yep i know the aftermarket ones are cheaper as i bought a set first fitted them and 3 months later both had failed so went for the proper volvo ones second time around and they are still working faultlessly
