New suspension of eibach lowering springs, top mounts and monroe reflex shocks have transformed Rayanna. She sits perfectly and when flooring it or corning there is zero body roll.

I am as happy as a pig in doo-doo. :B_steerin

She sits quite a bit lower on the rear

You can see from this pic below

http://www.volvot5.co.uk/volvogallery/albums/album28/normal_DSCF0057.JPG

how bad the top mounts were. The cracking around the metal sheath is particularly prominent on the left.

The shopping list was
2 x top mount spring seats (as in the dead ones above)
1 X top mount bearing
1 x anti-roll bar drop link
1 set of monroe reflex dampers - see here (http://www.volvot5.co.uk/volvogallery/albums/album28/normal_DSCF0055.JPG) for the front near side
1 set of eibach lowering springs

I will take some better photos this weekend

I know - it didn't take long to happen (less than 24hrs :nutkick: ). Painted rather than powder coated also means that they are even less resiliant to knocks.
