My S60 Shopping List!

**TangoDeltaSierra3** · Tuesday 2nd August 2005, 00:37

Well i'm mulling that many things over in my head about what i want to do to my S60, then common sense tells me to pay some debts etc...Anyway here's a few things what's swilling round in my mind.

19 inch rims - maybe Lenso Cf or the R copies - £900 to £1200
Rica 310bhp - ITG - Iridiums - £620 ish ?
KW Coilover kit - £840 - Fitting £250 ?
MS Design Sideskirts and boot spoiler - £600 plus fitting & paint £200 ?
New Brembo Discs - Ferodo DS2500 pads - Poly bush kit - £400 fitted
Stainless exhaust - undecided on brand - BSR ? £450

Alternative is none of the above and pay DFS £1800 i owe them for 2 leather sofas - i rest my case!

First do the brakes, secondly the exhaust as best to do that before the Rica re map, then the Rica, then probably suspension then do the styling and wheels.

So how much of the Rica effect is lost by NOT adding the Stainless Exhaust same time as the remap ?

**Wobbly Dave** · Tuesday 2nd August 2005, 09:06

Stage 0 tune, RICA & Brakes (only need to do them on the front).
Styling afterwards

I wouldnt like to quote figures but adding a freer flowing exhaust will always help!

**TangoDeltaSierra3** · Tuesday 2nd August 2005, 22:05

So why have none of you suggested i pay for my sofas lol, Linda Barkers waiting for her commission Lmao! Mmmmm, Linda Barker or Hamish ? - Tough Decision.

**TangoDeltaSierra3** · Tuesday 2nd August 2005, 23:35

Well i've decided on what i'm doing for now at last, just awaiting a date from VT to get started, but i'm off all next week so hopefully soon.

Rica 310 Remap - ITG - Iridium Plugs - R.Road Set Up.

Koni Adjustables - HR -35mm Springs - Eibach Adj.Camber bolts

Brembo Fr. Discs - DS2500 Pads

Wishbone Suspension Bushes - Polyurethane Jobbys

As i'm off to the Nurburgring in September i think the sensible option has been selected, and Linda Barker gets half her money too - all happy.

**JUDGENINJA** · Wednesday 3rd August 2005, 00:36

Well done Glad I could help with spending other peoples money.....

**TangoDeltaSierra3** · Wednesday 3rd August 2005, 00:42

Anyone got an opinion on these alloys ? Difficult i know trying to imagine the overall look lowered etc but i think i like em.

Defo best to do rica first , your standard wheels look good and it takes the same amount of effort to stop from 100 mph rica or not, + with the free itg etc its well worth it, styling keep the stealth

**Mrsmopp** · Wednesday 3rd August 2005, 10:13

Sorry - I dont like them.....A bit too bling for my taste

Yea but not with copius amounts of brake dust splattered on em, you'll think there Titan 2's lol..

**V8guitar** · Wednesday 3rd August 2005, 12:27

Hamish persuaded me to get DS pads for my Nurburgring trip and he was SOOOO right. You will melt your brakes otherwise. Glad you are going Rica and pads...

Suspension is also a good idea there but don't go too crazy there and prang it!!! Uprated suspension will encourage higher speeds, so please get to know the circuit ( although I think you said you have been before, so hope I'm not patronising you!)

I'm with Lance, tuning first, styling second..stuff Linda Barker ( always an option - she might take it as part payment)

Personally don't like those alloys either...go for somethin understated...I really like the R allys...

**TangoDeltaSierra3** · Tuesday 9th August 2005, 17:24

Well i finally chose a set of alloys i like, price is right etc and lo and behold they don do them in a Volvo fitment - grrrr - gutted or what. Oh the wheels were TSW Catalunya in Graphite on 19in.

**MattV70** · Wednesday 10th August 2005, 18:11

Will the 19's fit straight on to the V70 / S60 without stiffening and playing with the suspension? The reason i ask is i like the look of the R copies on the same website as you mentioned earlier, and i'll be needing 3 new tires before too long, so i'm tempted to slap mine on ebay and get some new ones.

I'd like 19's but i'm not too fussed about riding around in a car with solid suspension, so i might have to go for the 18's instead!
