Hello...
I will be purchasing a 98 V70R AWD this next week and I'm starting to look into the suspension options to uprate/lower the car.
Ill be putting my 18" tritons on her w/ 225/40's...
Emailed Kalmar about their package...talked to ipd/TME about their springs...
it looks like Ohlins have an option...and still ive seen others remove the nivo's and replace with shocks/struts/springs...
Can you please share...what you have done or plan to do to your V70R AWD??
Thanks,
Brett

Welcome Brett
There were rumours of a KW varient 3 kit being made as a limited run for these cars. That would be springs and shocks.
Ask on the US forums- they might know more.
The Ohlin set up is very expensive and is only for the shocks, you'd need to source some springs.

From what ive read on VS, slaters endlinks are a must, IPD swaybars maybe ,or have you done those mods already?

got the endlinks...sway bars...soon
im toying with the idea of just a rear bar....dood at ipd said wait...try out the stock sway first..and then decide if i want more oversteer or not
