I'm planning on spending roughly £500-£600 on a few things for my 1999 v70 T5 (with 87k miles)

I've been looking at either:

the exhaust system found here: http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...oducts_id=2773
or here http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/pages/...PartType=EXS06 (tacky site but its something)

and a new full suspension kit (similar to ones found on www.partsforvolvosonline.com)

OR

a stage one ECU (+59 bhp) (also found on www.partsforvolvosonline.com but sites down atm)

Any thoughts on these items? does the suspention actually make much of a different on the estate?


btw any other good sites for volvo performance parts would be much appreciated

Thanks

 

sites just came backup, links for some of the items im looking at:

ECU: http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...oducts_id=2376

Suspention: http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...oducts_id=3151

Exhaust: http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...oducts_id=3485
just the sports cat but a custom system to go with possibly

 

Suspension will make i big difference in the way it handles.

Do you want more power or to handle better?

 

I wouldn't mind some better handling but i must have been looking at just the spring kits because i was guessing around £250 but that kit there is £460 but it looks like the full works, i suppose you get what you pay for i really.

wouldnt mind some extra power though, but im starting to think itll be a little dodgey with a 300bhp front wheel drive estate :P if just a spring kit for roughly £200 improved the handling a fair bit id probably get both

I suppose im asking how much of a difference these things will make because its looking like one or the other not both. I gave a supra twin turbo a good run the other night even though hes got more than 100 ponnies more than me under the bonnet the T5 really does blitz things in the 50-100mph range unil you hit any kind of corner

 

I always liked the handling I thought it was pretty good.

Only you can make the final call!!
