I noticed early on in my ownership experience of a 2006 S60 of the wheel rub and have come to accept it at this point. I have been interested in lowering the suspension to get a more aggressive stance and better handling.

Does anyone have experience with lowered suspension making matters worse with the wheel rub.....or does it remain about the same?

 

Is the rub on the inside fender well?

 

Yes, usually at low speeds when parking or making a u-turn.

 

If you go to IPD or like sites and get a set of 5MM spacers that will fix the rub.Also you should have no problem with dropping that car as long as the shocks and struts and still in good shape.

 

thats good info for i'm about to lower mine an just bought some 7/16 wheel spacers for my s60!

 

Yep, 5mm spacers up front is the way to go to get rid of the wheel rub at full lock.
And Just for aesthetics, 15mm spacers on the rear wheels makes the car look much better after the drop....

 

when i do the drop am i gonna have anything else to do, adjustments, changing anything with the steering, due to under steer?

 

Best way to eliminate understeer is a set of Anti Sway Bars form iPd. Track Spec Sways will actually give your car slight oversteer....

 

I installed the 5mm spacers yesterday and the wheel rub is gone. I may even go out on a ledge and say my turning radius has improved slightly....and man do i love how the wheel is more level with the fender. Now if I can find a gripe to give me reason to widen the rear.
