Can anyone recommend a good suspension lowering kit for the 855?

Been looking at spax, koni and supersprint.....
all about the same money at £170

Just wondered if anyone maybe able to reccomend a kit as the 850 R springs didnt really work as i wanted them to.... I dont have nivomats btw!

I have used koni quite a few times on cars not the volvo yet but never seem to have a problem with them but spax aren't bad either

I agree with scooter, i too have used koni on previous cars and have been very happy with them however spax i have had an issue with.

Just wanted to lower the suspension to have that sporty "presence" to the car, dont really want to stiffen it too much, the old gal will shake herself to bits! lol...... Was thinking of these
