Cool, thanks! Mine didn't either and wasn't sure to add them with the lowering springs. I guess if the rear was too low the spacers could allow some adjustment. I just measured one and they're 7.5mm thick.

If the height turns out like yours in post 282 then I'll be happy.

I fitted Kilen springs and Bilstein touring shocks to my last '97 940 estate - it also did not have the spacers fitted. Perhaps they were abandoned after a certain model year?





The combo gives a nice stance, but still has a great ride quality

I wonder if they were used on the 30mm lowering kit that was fitted by Volvo ?

Although that wouldn't really make sense ?

Great stuff mark - i don't think many of us take pics of the grotty, horrible stuff before replacing it with better/new stuff!

I'm soon going to be replacing the old rear silencers on my Jag with a pair of stainless jobbies, i doubt i'll take any pics of the originals but will definitely be taking pics of the new ones!

Likewise, i didn't take a pic of the original spare wheel cover on my Honda, the zips are knackered but otherwise it's in pretty good condition, i did take pics of the new, aftermarket black leather-effect cover though.

Think it's a thing where we don't want to remember the bad stuff.............

So that's what the window trim bottoms are supposed to look like

Looks very smart!

Tell me about it. I know £250 for three trims is expensive but it makes such a huge difference

I've not forgotten your grille. Just need to find the bl**dy thing

250 for those trims is such a punch in the gut. But it makes the car look 10 years younger. Mine look horrible.

Where did you order them from?

I ordered mine from FRF Volvo in the UK. You should be able to order through your nearest Volvo main dealer though.

FRF give VOC Forum members a good discount but they would have the extra cost of posting to you in Portugal

Or Skandix

https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...ding-glas/799/

Which are more expensive
