Lowering Volvo C70.

[MC_Bob]

So, I want to lower my C70 purely for aesthetics.

It looks high, good 1" between tyre and arch. Thing is, The springs are red and look like someone else has already done it. I dont want to replace them to find its no lower!

Heres a pic..

My old RS2000 sat right down and was almost useless. Ive had a look underneath the C70 and it doesnt look like much except the subframe will rub, although the sump is pretty low.

As it stands I have no problems with speedbumps, but thats not too much of a problem, I dont visit maccyDs often.

All help appreciated as to whether its lowered already, and what I should buy to satisfy my needs!

From the back it looks sky high, Im almost sure its not been lowered much. Tyre in the arches would be win, im open to your views..

Thanks

[Wobbly Dave]

it is quite difficult to tell from those shots. Do you have one that is square on from the side?

[MC_Bob]

Any better? Will have to borrow a camera..

And no choppy choppy!!

Thanks

Had a look and cleaned the coils and found pi 95 119 lowering springs.

Any good? Seems theyre only 25mm drop, but 35mm is hardly much different >.<

Thanks

[Wobbly Dave]

My eibachs were 40mm and you can defo tell the difference. The height the car comes upto your chest is noticably different (good for washing it - as I am a bit of a short arse)

Theres another pic, ive decided its still too high, but I cant even find coilovers for sale, any advice!?
