There is some fantastic information posted on their forum, and as a newbie to Volvo's great to read.

However, what is lacking if a definite list of modifications, with relevant part numbers.

I have spoken to my local dealer about XC90 drive shaft bolts and he gave me a weird look and came back with a wheel bolt!

It is work for someone but a list of recommended mods would be extremely helpful and something I would be willing to pay for!

Thanks in advance

My car is in getting everything checked out that lee stated, they are even going to fit aftermarket parts (the poly bushes) I wast sure if they would, but they refuse to fit the XC90 bolts

Here's the classic mods ... in order of value for money (in my opinion)

- Strut Brace
- Full Polybushing (awesome upgrade)
- Braided brake lines
- Bilstein B8 Dampers and Eibach Springs (not too hard for road use)
- IPD rear roll bar
- Good Leightweight wheels with top rubber (17" OZ's ST's with Conti CS3 here
- New Droplinks and topmounts

Note none of them are to do with power!

As said before, i wouldn't waste my money on Braided brake lines. Volvo ones on the Rs are reinforced on the inside so you won't gain any brake performance over stock.

Its all in the wording.....

If you had asked for XC90 center Hub/ CV bolts then they would have known what you meant.
