    lowering springs c70 d5

    guys -

    looking at purchasing some lowering springs for my '08 c70 D5...

    on searching net though can't find my model listed, yet all other engine styles are... I find it hard to believe the springs are not the same as T5/2.4/2.0D etc ...

    Been looking at Eibach sport springs (E10-84-009-01-22) anybody know if these will fit? I'm guessing C70/S40/C30 all share the same setup?

    I also looked at coilovers but finding it hard to justify the additional cost (£1200 over £200ish) on a car that won't spend its time on a track smoking derv - unless others disagree?

    Would post this in phase III section/car chat but having problems accessing pages (see website help section for details Admins ) so main forum will have to do!

    Ta muchy, Jim.

    Hey mate remember the C70 is about 170kg heavier than the equivalent C30/S40

    You'll need C70 specific springs otherwise your spring settings will be out.

    The C70 is listed but not the D5, but all other engine varieties are mentioned. Find it hard to believe to D5 is any different than the 2.0D for example...?
