Upstate Volvo C30: Stance n00b

[skissinger]

hey

My name is Steve. I live near Albany, NY. Drive an 08 Volvo C30 v2.

I've been poking around here for a bit, time to join and post. I'm thinking that I'd like to eventually slam my C30 so i need to gain some knowledge and maybe find some shops around here to assist.

right now im on koni yellows and h&r lowering springs with a 1.3" drop. not bad for a DD going through a NY winter.

wheels are Forgestar F14, 18x8.5, +38 ET. no tire stretch yet.

a common problem for us C30 boys is our body kit is plastic and doesnt allow for any fender rolling. causing a lot of rubbing and making it more difficult to get that perfect look.

see you around!

it looks a little "cluttered," but headed in the right direction

thanks. if i really do some work on the car i would probably do a full wrap or repaint. keep it nice and clean.

Looking good. I love C30s with the two tone paint. You should paint the wheels to match the lower body panels.

Welcome to S|W.

I would remove the moose sticker and decals along the side. Too much going on with the 2.0 body style.
