Question Suspension options--------->>>

My goal is to get a new suspension setup by summer, but I am not finding many options. I have a 98 c70, and so far the only options i have come across are either to get new shocks/struts and springs, or buy KW variant coilovers for $1800. Does anyone know if there is another company that makes coilovers for my car for less money, or do I have to settle on just shocks & springs. What suspension are some of you guys running? Likes and dislikes? Also, if I am going to replace the suspension what else could I do in the process? i.e. CV joints, etc...

Welcome to Volvo's. Where the aftermarket products exist but don't exist and the ones that do exist cost an arm and a leg.

KONI, KONI FSD, Bilstein should all have a product for you for shocks/struts.

IPD USA, EuroSportTuning, H&R, B&G & APEX Suspension Systems should all have a spring options for you.

KW coilovers are about the only ones on the market, except for http://www.kaplhenke.com/index.php?o...d=52&Itemid=32
who makes a coilover system for the 850's which may work on your c70 since your a 1998 model. Call and find out.
I believe Intrax may have made a system for our cars as well, but very ellusive to find.
