No more XC70 jokes!

We, I got some springs from a lad called Gareth, Apex 30mm kit and brand new (fitted then removed without being driven on) £40 delivered
Thanks to Steve (Dalhousie) for spotting them







And in case anybody accuses me of photoshopping the pics...







And if you're wondering why the ass-end is still sitting high (albeit 30mm lower) take a look at these beasties...



I put all my weight on this thing and couldn't get it to retract! plod spec HD shocks

I am now ££££ed! knees, shoulder, back and hips ar all incredibly stiff and I think I broke my thumb when a bolt snapped (took me 2 hours to get it out! - the bolt not the thumb lol)

Nearly 9 hours on my own but I'm pretty pleased. She rides smooth but firm and hacks into corners like a housefly. sweeet!

Beer, painkillers and bed for me now

I think they still need to settle a bit, still looks way too high.

Front end is bang-on mate, the HD shocks on the back are kicking it up by bout 20mm, possibly more. You should have seen the things, wider than a coke can and impossible to move.

I'll get some better pics tomorrow.

Must say you've done a cracking job mate, go have that well deserved beer

Hopefully that will quieten down all those who said it needed lowering now

Nice one MRP

So you now have a flatter ride whilst still being able to see over hedges?

[M-R-P]

I can still hit a badger at 40 without it going through the windscreen lol.

[graemewelch]

My s60 sits high at rear to..was temped to do a pedro style mod and attack it with a grinder

[M-R-P]

I think the P2s have a naturally high bum - you have standard shocks or the abominations I found in mine?

[smithy]

Nice job mate

[graemewelch]

Standard shocks. Used to koni fsd but they were harsh. Handling was great though. Prob end up with uprsted shocks again

[M-R-P]

I've got Boge automatic on the front of mine and they're brilliant, If I change the rears, I'll get them.

[WOODY T5]

great job done mate looks well was that done today as it looks like the middle of summer where u are;-)

[M-R-P]

Lol, yep - it was a lovely day but cold.

there's frost on the cars now tho

[Redbrick]

The nivomats control the ride height which is why the rear is sitting at the same height as before.

They aren't nivs mate, Just super heavy duty rear shocks - she's actually riding 30mm lower than before at the back end, as the springs would allow it to....
