Looks great, did you do it yourself? If so how did you remove the rear springs, as the Haynes manual say you need the proper Volvo coil spring compressors.

yeh, did it myself, with my mate.
first side we undid, shocker, main wishbone bottom fixing, drop link and aux wishbone, pulled main wishbone down, and slid spring down and out, took about an hour, we had real hassle seating the spring at the bottom wishbone.until we discovered..............

second side we had it sussed, undid shocker, and undid main wishbone, pulled it all the way down, and slid spring off, dead easy, took 10 mins.
re-assembly was really easy, as spring could be seated at the bottom correctly, then pushed up the wishbone to the body, and fixed into place. easy!!!

That looks quite a bit lower than a standard S60 from memory and more level too, I hate the way they look a lot higher from the rear than they do at the front when they are standard, good job :)

that looks to be sitting just right, not too low! Well done!

Thanks for the comments guys, the car rides pretty much the same as before, as it was quite hard anyway, lot less roll in the corners, and feels a lot more planted. Overall I am well happy.
Cheers
Craig.

no offence intended, but looks about the same as my stock D5. So it gets my vote :wink: lol

Maybe, but it was sky high before,could fit 4 fingers vertically between top of Tyre and wheel arch, can't get 2 in now. Well happy
