Cool :) Guess you don't want a lift then? Lol
Didn't want to put you to any bother mate, Like today I only had time to fit one! The offer was well received though mate and no mistake. Cheers Bonnietiler
Nay worries Fella. Feels better when you've done it yourself anyway ;)
Looking good Brian
That was me 6 years ago. Enjoy
Looks good, tyre needs some air though :lol: Are these standard springs? I see PFS have some £250 suspension deal on at the moment which is quite tempting to sort out 19 year old original 850 suspension, any comments on this: http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=7655

Thanks... Hey - It was you that told me about them anyway ;)
Got then all done now(front & back), car feels great. Bilstein B6 + Lesjofors lowering springs. Only real problem was the off side rear lower shock mount, the nut was pretty much welded on and the nearside top rear mount the 2 top bolts sheared off b but I just gave the studs a sharp tap and the spot welded nut just fell off and took the broken studs with them, so with a mate I fitted an allen key caliper screw and nylock nuts. Looks quite smart under the front now with the 302 conversion/2 pack painted the calipers and fitted Ferodo SP2500's. Also fitted the PCV kit that Jules left in the car, bit of a pig initially but alot easier when you've done it once, glad I got round to it as the original had been split in three places over the years, amazingly the car is 3mpg better on economy now too!
These are mine on the gul and the 320mm p2 brakes. B6s and lesjford springs, plus poly wishbones, detachable hd meyle ball joins, hd drop links, subframe inserts etc
