C70 mk2 d5 suspension query.
Hi all, I'm new to this👋. I'm looking to replace the shocks on my 2007 c70 d5, I currently have lowered springs and am struggling to find uprated shocks to fit the rear, am I correct in thinking the shocks on the c30 and v50 are the same fitments and spec as I've been looking at either bilstein b6/b8's or koni str.t or would the bilstein b4's work in conjunction with lowering springs?
Regards, Lex. |

a standard c70 only has 6in ground clearance if you lower it you may find yourself buying an exhaust as it will ground out on antispeed humps mine grounds out and its all standard

I'm running B4s on my D5 but with standard springs. B4s are just OE replacements.
