    Nebs are an awesome wheel on any volvo but they certainly finish off yours. Hope I can get a nice deep shine like yours. What products do you use for that please?
    Also, what coilovers does Steve have & you had?
    I only ask as my new motor has coilovers but am unaware of the brand.
    Morgan said they weren't bad on the test drive so fingers crossed.

    Prosport coilovers, ebay cheapies, they lower the car nicely, ans improve handling, but the ride is very firm.

    The kit came with the rear adjusters, but they won't fit on with the rear spring retainer. TBH, it's better for me as it lowers it a bit more.

    The rears are adjusted (height) on the spring with a spring release sleeve and rebound adjustment on the shock, very simple to fit.
