that looks awesome

Did you buy those clamps stock or make them up yourself.....I'm still researching what bolt I need for the rears, looking at M15 bolts the moment and not sure whether to put stainless steel spacers or just throw on some more nuts to lock the spacers in place..something like this ....wish they sold them in kits..

No......not till next year...the springs sold by Volvo parts on line are TUV approved for maximum safety.......check out the site ..and the shocks are oil front and gas rear nothing special but they work .

Got mine on eBay now...don't think I will need them again

What do you need bolts for on the rear ? Just make sure you get up under the arches and wire brush off the ends of the bolts that hold the shocks in place .I never realised how long they were and although I used releasing oil on the tops I sheared one bolt off and had to drill it out and re tap the hole . so plus gas the under side of all bolts ....On the bottom rear shock they use domed captive nuts on the stud Please oil and heat and be very careful as they after 10/15 years do not want to come off without shearing off all the best Kim.

Just been down to Canterbury and back ...M25 ,slip roads and some B roads still a bit soft for me but compared to the standard set up definitely worth the £250 cost!

Even got 31.3 mpg on computer home 7...ish cruise control and a couple of bursts of over exuberant slip roads...WHY do those idiots sit in the third lane of 4 doing no faster than those in lane 1 ??????
