Additional Technical Information

*Knowing the ride height of your volvo before and after making modifications is important. Here's how we do it:

1. Place your car on a smooth level flat surface, such as a parking lot or garage floor.
2. Measure vertically from the center of the wheel to the center of the the wheel opening as show in the picture on the right to eliminate variations due to tire and wheel sizes. Do this at all four corners of the car and record your measurements.
3. After installing lowering coils measure again and record the results.

Typically a 3/8" to 1/2" difference side to side is acceptable. If you find that your car is out of this spec, you should check to make sure the springs are properly seated and other parts of the car such as suspension bushings are not the cause.
