Have to agree, ARB's are a great addition to firm the car up and reduce body roll. Eibach springs are good too if you want to lower it a little.
FSD's can be too firm for some, while others love...
Without a doubt, if you are going to go down this route, then look for a 2.4 T5 unit from the S60/V70 2005 onwards models. A few people have changed their S60R engines for this unit, all the best...
Read below what a £600 minimum custom MTE remap can do. Google MTE's work and you will find just as many problems as there has been with RICA or HLM. Part of tuning i'm afraid.
It seems the...
£600 Bloody heck, So that is for a generic remap, not custom as we all know custom work when he is ever in the U.K is extra on top, and you get to keep the delivery device, all be it one that does...
WOW what a read, from HLM remaps, to Rica remaps, to MTE remaps, to Incorrectly fitted coil springs, to does he or does he not pay tax on his extra out of hours work and does he have Insurance to...
I think it's great, it's unique and no doubt goes and sounds fantastic.
As T5-Monkey says, P6000's are not great to say the least.
Over the last 2 years I have tried (different cars)
Bridgestone RE050
Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrical

This is a great site for all suspension springs, dampers and kits. Great prices too

The 3 main tuners for Volvos in the U.K are MTE sold through Don at Kalmar, RICA sold through RICA direct or RICA dealers based around the U.K or BSR which has some dealers in the U.K too.
Try if...
Looking really good, looks a really straight clean car.
1st is good for just under 40MPH, so it may feel short, but it is not. 5th gear is good for 150 MPH and 6th can take you well past a speedo indicated 160 MPH. I tend to just use 6th quiet a bit as it...
The 2.4 T5 can produce 350 BHP, but you will need a large downpipe and cat back, you may also need green injectors from the R. Mine was dyno'd on a maha 3000 at 348.5 BHP.
You should feel the power on full throttle of jonathans V70, awesome!

This was before I added the sport front lip spoiler.
That really is a stunnin looking C70, really timeless.
I will get some new pics soon.
I would have a look at the Glow plugs following that the Injectors.
From memory the wheels where £360 and the tyres were £79 a corner from camskills.
