Cool In-lowering the beast!
Hi all,

Ive just bought my first Volvo XC70 D5 2011 and i love it!

The previous owner for some mad reason lowered it (!) and i want to un-lower it

Can anyone help me on this? Do i just need springs changing back or is there more to it?

Thanks!

Seems mad that anyone would lower a XC70! That's the great thing about it! AWD and go where some Chelsea tractors can't!

Have a look underneath and make sure they are standard shocks and not coilovers that have been fitted. If the latter you will need springs AND shocks, if not you will just need replacement springs.

Also im curious of how it looks at present, got any pictures?
