Both front dampers have seen better days so I need to replace them.
I might as well buy a lowering kit and do the lot whilst I am there.
PFS do a nice cheap one but ideally I would like to replace the rear top
mounts at the same time (the ones with the three bolts that go into body).
Anybody have any recommendations.

Parts For Volvo's Lowering Kit, also replace front strut mounts and spring seats.

Lowering kit. This was over £300 when I purchased it, it's come down in price (typical ain't it!).....

Powerflex the wishbones mate.

The bearing plate may look shoddy but I doubt it's knackered. The rubber top spring seat will no doubt need changing tho.
