Wow, thank you guys for the all the welcomes! I mainly post on Volvospeed and my local forum CFLeuro.net, which it's very hard to find too much creativity. The Volvo scene is actually pretty big, but everyone is too afraid to mod their car with anything more than OEM stuff and a slim selection of aftermarket parts so you see alot of the same "cookie-cutter" cars. It's nice to come to a forum like this and see so much creativity, definitely makes me feel right at home.

I plan to re-vamp my suspension soon and drop it more. Working on an adjustable rear so that I can tuck tire in the rear as well. There is not much of a selection for coilovers (other than $1600 KW's) so we either have to make something custom or piece things together and make a kit.

Also planning to get some bigger spacers in the rear to flush it out a little bit more.

Damn man, that looks really good. Where did you get the suspension setup, a friend of mine has a volvo that he wants to drop on the S60 Monoblock wheels.

It's a custom Koni coilover for the front. B&G lowering springs in the rear. I went with a spring rate of 350, but I would recommend getting something softer. Sure beats the hell out of spending $1600 on KW's. If he has any questions tell him he can PM me and I can help him out.

Hell ya a stanced volvo! are those C70 rims?

Yep! 18x8 Mirzams off of the 2008 C70.

That looks really good, should definitely be dope lower!

Soon enough. Soon enough.

Is that an OEM+ front bumper, or what? Looks clean as hell.

It's an s70R front bumper (color matched to my car) with a custom fiberglass splitter. Thanks!

Saw this car at Fixxfest. I really liked the little vinyl you had going on in front of the door.

I have to say when I saw it all I could say was damn that is the cleanest, most OEM + volvo I have ever seen. Nice

Thank you! I'm surprised the vinyl came out that well. We did it at like 2 am a couple of nights before, in the street with only a street light above us lol. Good times!

I'm a huge s70 fan. Always have been. I would love to buy one for a project at some point. Yours looks great.

Car looks sick. My buddy has an 850 and I'm trying to get him to stance it. Id like to see it slammeddd on some 18" pegasus spaced out or some really wide 17" steelies. Let us know what you piece together to slam the rear with.
