V70 r
Hi all I need to renew front shocks and top mounts on my car. Would anyone recommend also renewing the front springs. How much roughly would this cost and any parts that I may need when renewing the front suspension that I've missed?
Regards Dan. |

I do this sort of thing as a routine job.
Shocks - get Bilstein B4, PFS usually do a great for all 4 (provided they are not the self leveling types). Lemforder suspension mount bearings and top rubber mounts (just got myself a new set this morning set today from www.autodoc.co.uk). Spring, yes do them as they also wear and once done, it really transforms the car. However, whilst i have done both the C70's thus far, using Eibach and H&R springs on Bilstein B4 and B6 dampers, I have not done the R. The R does have a very unique stance and I'd potentially be looking to get OEM Volvo springs or Eibach is suitable. I also got new bump stops at the same time.

I refrained from putting them on the front too, as I reckon it makes the car look too chavvy - so as and when the fronts need doing it'll be OEM springs from a Standard V70 and Bilstein shocks. That of course is assuming it currently has Nivomats on the front too?? (assuming Volvo fitted them all round on V70R's????) Last edited by sdg1970; Jun 21st, 2019 at 17:31. |
