The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[ollycarbs]

running a V70 for a few months i would be interested by some feedback about the D2!
i even did not know there was D2 coilover for those cars!

[JVC]

Yeah, they're D2's. I've heard good things about them and since them and KW are the only other ones to make anything for our cars these were cheaper and a better option for where I was at.

There is currently a D2 setup for these cars, you buy the setup for the Volvo 850 since the suspension geometry is the same 850 to the s70/v70/c70. The only thing I did hear was that they might be ceasing production of these coilovers since there aren't enough people buying them to make it profitable for them to continue to make these... we'll see what happens but I'm glad I got them while they were still available.

Hi John!

You're gonna love the D2s. I have loved mine so far on the wagon.

Drop it like its hot.

[JVC]

Hey man! Thanks! I'm sure I'm gonna like them... lower and better than the stock stuff...

Were you able to use the endlinks that came with them?

[Brass Fish]

Hey man! Thanks! I'm sure I'm gonna like them... lower and better than the stock stuff...

Exactly.

Were you able to use the endlinks that came with them?

Yeah. I wasn't able to use them at the smallest setting however. I'm also not sure if its just mine, but my links collide with the tie rod slightly on the driver's side. I may try going back to a stock length link and see if that helps.

Always nice to see new material being stanced, can't wait to see this finished.

[JVC]

rattle can colormatched the rear bumper since it was super scuffed up.





thats with the rear coilovers on and still about one more finger worth of threads to go down and then I could take out the adjusters and go a bittt lower too.

Fronts should go on this week before Carlisle.

[JVC]

I got the fronts on... unfortunately, the tires I bought are 215/50 so I can't lower it as much as easily... hoping to acquire some smaller rubber sometime soon.

[Okoye]

the suspension can go lower?

[Bracknaphobia]

Coilovers certainly close the fender gap, but these cars can't seem to really get low. As big a fan as I am of static cars, it'd be interesting to see one bagged.

Whatever the case, looks like a cool build.

[Okoye]

that looks pretty low to me

haha i thought this was my wagon for a lil bit till i saw the euro rails.
what size tires you have in the front?

and it's not like bagged b3 passat wagon low. but still pretty awesome.

[mullemeck]

get som steel rims from 900 series and you will get so good ofset

[JVC]

Yeah, this suspension can go a LOT lower in the front, but right now I'm limited by the tires size I have and the temporarily small budget (inbetween switching jobs).

Mattphi on here has a bagged S70, still not too many official pictures but I know he's close to completion.

It's pretty decent right now, but it will definitely be going lower in the near future.

The only problem with those is that they're too small in my opinion... I want AT LEAST 17's, I think the car would look weird on 16's.
