Shimming is easy and not terrible money same cost as head gasket and stops liners from splitting. I've put a sub in mine and it's a straight forward fit if the cable is there already. A lot of the...
With 4c your looking at about £400-500 a corner supplied & fitted for a fully rebuilt suspension from abn independent using Monroe shocks but Volvo springs. It'll be more if you have to buy your...
After about 40k of brisk use new R springs tend to sag reducing the ride height by about 15mm. If old springs are retained with new shocks the shocks last considerably less time.

So it's a cold start issue!!
Your car, like all modern day cars without a manual choke, relies on the opening and closing of the injectors to control the amount of fuel. More fuel on cold starts...

Royal Steering Wheels do good work although he doesn't have any Volvo steering wheels pictured on his web site so it might be worth dropping him an email. I've just had my BMW wheel re-trimmed by him...
