I installed rear Eibach springs this weekend and it was quite a challenge. I used what information I could find from here and the swedespeed.com forum. I've detailed my installation session with some pics at:http://sdbhost.com/testsites/VolvoS6...arSprings.html for others considering a rear spring install. Although it was a lot of work, I'm very pleased with the results. After a few days the drop is about 1 1/4" and the ride is firmer but not too stiff. I will be starting on the front struts + springs today or tomorrow...[/align]

 

Really appreciate it. I'm thinking of lowering my S60 and I'll jump over to your post and check out whether I want to take it on myself.

 

Nice write-up.

 

Do you have any before and after pics of the car?

 

I'll snap one tomorrow even though the fronts aren't done yet... UPS delivered my 'Iron Wheel' center caps today, (IPD) so I suppose a pic or 2 are in order.

"Iron Wheel" centercaps: (Lousy pic, sorry...)

 

I like it looks really good.
Like the R rims on it.

 

Thanks man!! Finished the fronts today and did a dump & fill with fresh 3309 tranny fluid... (3 3/4 quarts)

 

That thing looks so good!!!

 

I'm gonna have to risk making the wife mad and get lowering springs for mine.

 

^^ It's worth the risk! I figured the worst that could happen would begetting banished to the garage. (Then I would have more time with the S60

 

Looking great, are those 17" pegs. I got 18 inch pegs on mine and looking to lower it. Bought H&R springs recently, just deciding whether i should do it myself. would you happen to have any pictures for the front assembly

 

Yes, 17" authentic Pegs. I didn't take any pics of the front, but quite honestly, it was a very straight forward strut-type shock replacement with no surprises. (Remove, clamp spring in compressor and disassemble....) I think there is a how-to posted on this board or on the swedespeed forum that is for an 850 but is very similar to the S60.
