Looking for somebody with a setup used that I can get relatively cheap compared to new so I can bag my volvo amazon. anybody who can help please let me know. I know I'm in the wrong category but this one has the most people.

I really hope you make a build thread on the Volvo. Been on my list of cars to own for years. What year is yours?

it is 4 wheel coils with a link setup in the rear. the biggest problem will be the size of the wheels and tires you are running. it is a unibody car so you are going to be building some new rear suspension of some sort. i had one lowered on 18x8" front and 18x9" wheels in back and it was all shoe horned in there....

going to be running the stocks with wide whites. going old skool on this one.

as i said before it will matter on the size of the tire.... you will need to rebuild the rear floor and rear suspension to lay on anything remotely decent sized. the bags you will just have to build cups from scratch and see how much travel you can get from the stock control arms.

with it being a unibody and all I am not going to try really hard to get it to lay out, just as low as it can go while still having the inner fenders intact. don't want to destroy its value too bad.

might as well just buy lowering springs from IPD USA. yyou will be wasting time bagging that car and not cutting anything....

there is no real value with these cars by the way...

the nada on it in rough shape is 4600 so I'd say otherwise my friend.
