Hi! Thanks for that post! I do have 1998 v40. So what exactly to I need to change to fit those coilovers ? It easy to find anti roll bar links, but I can't find anywhere those top mounts, you mentioned. Do I need just mounts, or bearings and other bits? I can't find OEM stuff anywhere. What price did you paid 2y ago for mounts?
Easiest way is to go direct to Volvo for parts. They may cost more than your local motor factors but they can get the parts correct the first time and usually within 2 days.
I renewed the top mounts on my 2003 V40 about 2 months ago and got them direct from Volvo. Think they were about £45 each from my local dealer.

Ok.
Go to partsforvolvos.co.uk and order:
2x PFV904696 Front Strut Top Mount Plastic Bearing £13.20 each
and either
2xPFV905287 (Manual) Front Strut Top Mount £23.40 each
or if you have an auto
2xPFV904649 (Automatic) Front Strut Top Mount £20.93 each
You will also need front roll bar links:
2x PFV903845 S/V40 Series 2001 onwards Drop Link(Front) £15.26 each
But I would suggest getting meyle heavy duty ones instead:
2xPFV906650 S/V40 Series 2001 onwards Heavy Duty Drop Link(Front) £25.51 each (no difference in driving just last much longer!)
The rear mountings are identical on all P1,P1.5, and P2 cars, so you don't need to change anything.
This is exactly what I purchased to convert mine!
Hope it helps!

I would add on an unrelated note that the FK website is stupid as I accidentally pressed a button and cancelled my order ! Had to phone up Germany direct and ask them very politely to re-instate it as I do want my coilovershaha idiot
