The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[csroka]

This is not an easy task, keep up the good work

Gave up on adjusting the hub mount to go lower and just lowered the spring perch.







Now onto the backs, gonna roll em a bit more and try to squeeze the 15mm spacers back there or maybe even the 20mm

[JVC]

New wheels look a lot better. Interested to see how it looks with the smaller tires and spacers back on. the 20 could probably fit in the rear.

I could possibly make them fit with a bit more of a fender roll, but the problem is, if I roll them more I'll end up pulling them and I would really prefer to just roll and keep the stock form from the outside.

Great new addition keep up the good work J

Went back down to one of my favorite spots to take pictures due to the ability to use the lighting in the lot to my advantage.

As previously mentioned, even though I'm not sure anyone even saw it, picked up some new wheels today in Madison, WI.

17x8 ET20 square. 215/45 something michelins...





Cleaned them up real quick!





Front still jacked up with 15mm spacers effective offset of 5



Took the spacers off



And the rears without the 20mm spacers, might put the 15mm from the front on the back.



And a few full car shots







Thanks for looking! Gonna swap over the smaller tires on Thursday maybe and then try out the 15mm in back and possibly lower the front more if I have the time.

Found a pic from a local gathering the other night. Makes the wheels look not dirty!



Also poking up new wheels tomorrow to replace the bent white ones. So keep your eyes peeled for that!

Another small update, nothing super new and just some crummy iPhone pictures for now.

Did some work to my car today after meeting up with Tommy last night to pickup some parts he got from Tom.







Had to cut one of the foglights brackets because it was catching on part of the bumper mounting.



You can see the difference here



And the money shots

[JVC]

Got a few small updates, traded an old paintball gun for a harborfreight welder and fixed my exhaust





Then I threw in some 4500k 35w HIDs, just waiting for some new foglights brackets so I can install my new fogs.



And two random pictures, one instagram one with a DSLR

[JVC]

Got my new bumper on, still needs to be adjusted since I can tell something is tweaked on the passenger side probably from hitting that tree... Haha

Waiting on HID's and bulb holders then I will install the foglights that came with it too.













Also on the lookout for some 17x8 wheels in either 5x108 or 5x110 since these ones are bent in a non-repairable way that wobbles on the highway but balances out on a machine.

Thanks for looking!

Oh it looks so good! White on red is....

You should try to hang your exhaust tip a little higher though, if it's possible. It took some work on mine, but it looks so much better!

The rear bracket rusted out so I replaced it with a cheap autozone fix which is why it hangs like shit, should be getting y exhaust done in a month or so so it will be better then!
