Anyone know if you can get these for an 850 T5?? and if you can has anyone done it and what difference did it make???

Looking under the hood there doesnt seem to be enough space for one but I'm probably wrong as usuall

Strut Brace for an 850 is a Volvo OEM part and can be bought for £75 including VAT from any Volvo parts dealer. One of the first mods I did. Tightens up the front end a lot I think. If you couple it with a decent suspension upgrade like Guy has - then the result is remarkable.

Here is a picture of my mates (Martyn's) T5

as you can see - the brace fits atop the suspension turrets

cant see your pic dave, just a red cross. I've put one on the primera and it worked a treat but looking at the 850 it just looked like the brake fluid res and other things would be in the way!

its holding the road well as it is and want to run it a bit longer before modding it (i just think its best to know where your starting from before going on a mod mission!!) but thats probably gona be the 1st on the list
