differnce between the sport and SE suspension
Hi all,
I want to change the set up on my v50 SE to the sport ( lowering spring Kit) i wanted to ask if any of you did the switch. how difference is the ride between the 2 set ups? I find the SE to be very comfortable and I wouldn't want to ruin that. and another question do you know how much would cost to fit the lowered spring? thank you in advance |

If you want to drop the car slightly and also keep an almost OEM feel then the best set of springs to do that would either be:
Eibach's - Volvo's Own lowering kit - Lowers by 20mm over standard or Eibach Pro Kit - Lowers by upto 30mm Eibachs are top quality springs and you WILL feel the difference without the ride being harsh and too firm. These can be matted with a good set of Blistien shocks too as and when required. |

Do you have to change the standard shocks or will you still feel the benefit of just changing the springs and leaving the standard dampers fitted. I have a 2010 SE LUX 1.6
