850 / C70 coilovers

[Sparkysparks]

Just to check, they are the same right.
They list seperately on ebay but when you go in they say are compatible.
C70 listed ones have an extra £100

i know the C70 is basically a 850 in a skirt, but not sure if they did any change to components when they did it. The spring rates will be different at least

I bought them anyway. If they end up not fitting theyll be sent back. But im sure they will.
Spring rates are not a concern really. Theyre only cheap ones im getting. I just want to get it lower and a bit stiffer mainly.

My BC'S on my C70 mention S70 on the labels but not 850.

interestingly, i currently have c70 front struts on my 850 and v70r me7 hubs and v70r driveshafts, i can tell you c70 struts are about 10mm longer than an 850 with more rebound travel and an me7 drive train is about 10mm wider either side...

The UK made, hand built kit that I offer will fit all front drive cars throughout the production run from the earliest 850's to the very last C70s.

It is fully adjustable at the front but not in respect of ride height at the rear. We know we have the optimum ride height at the rear without the problems of spoiling the proper movement of the susopension with lower rear ride heights.

The kit is fully rebuildable from UK parts stock, the valving can be changed as can the spring rates.

Not cheap but way, way ahead of the Taiwanese and chinese cheaper stuff in terms of adjuastability, rebuildability and components available separately for future adjustment. Plus for those that way inclined it will withstand puhing on, on the road and track.

PS I can offer just the front for AWD cars and some sensible work arounds for a balanced rear end.308583086030859

Alot of chin on that volvo.

Thanks for the info. I have purchased cheapo ones though, at least for now. My main aim is lows instead of performance.
