i no mintex brakes are good on vauxhalls as i have had them before i was asking if they are any good for volvo,s as volvo,s are alot heavyer.
and yes steering is fine just a winy powered steering pump that aint gona cost alot to get sorted and am doing next week.

the tyres i got are avon i get them cheap from a mate that works in a tyre place in bletchley.

so is there anything els you want to pic at or are you donr now?

Avons lol

As for your friend is he the same friend that said your auto box/drive shaft was foooooked?

Last time I looked a winning power steering pumped meant it is knacked

So your going to fit uprated koni shocks and springs to the rear of your 850 yet your keeping the STANDARD front shocks and springs fitted?WTF

Why buy tyres that you know will rub?

I dont see the point myself.

Ive got 17" Tethys with 215/45/17's and on full lock they sometimes still rub!

full lock can be adjusted..... also the offset of the different wheels is quite important

Stainesy Im not picking on you Im merely pointing out the fact when people with honest information try to help you out you seem to ignore there advice but when some chaved up volvo owner sticks there 2pence worth in your all ears

**cameron** · Tuesday 7th October 2008, 21:55

Im 31 and still a Volvo boy racer,

Theres nothin better than whiping scooby's / Saxo Vtr's and the like being driven by little knob eds!

Especially the ones in Oldham that spend thousands on mods and their still slower than a 13 year old estate car!

Luvin it!
