No pics, it's too dark so I'll snap some tomorrow, but my car is now slammed. 2" drop, might be a tic more. Wasn't too bad of a job, took a long time though, with napping kiddo and such. Quick drive and it's cool. Ended up the left front strut was blown say I replaced them both with V70 struts, which are 1.5" shorter, so I shouldn't blow the struts with the lower springs.

I dont talk to you in over two days, and this is what you come back with?
Not even a text or phone call to let me know you're alright? I can't help but feel this is a one-sided relationship.

Edit: Perhaps I was out of line and overreacted.

PICS!!

The rear will definitely need a spacer and it'll take a bit to get used to it. It looks significantly different...pics soon.

Waiting for pics

Tuh-duh! Loooowwwwwwww. Like I said, needs a spacer in the rear, and camber correction as well. Handling is night and day to what it was.

I never realized such a crappy car could look so good! I mean, such a db drive such a nice car. Nevermind, you get my drift

Looks really good! Nice work-

Thanks...still not sold on the rear springs. Those might get swapped out.

Postby **Huzer** » Thu Oct 20, 2011 9:14

Ordered a set of rear S60 AWD springs. Those are supposed to be a good fit for the rear of the car. The R springs are just too low, and sooo uncompressed (even with the full weight of the car) that the rear is just dancing around.

Got the springs on today. Took about 1.5 hours this time, start to finish. MUCH better results. So much so that I almost want to swap the fronts out now! Handling is vastly improved.

I'll snap some pics tomorrow.
