This thing is so gangster.

Simple, clean, and classy. What's holding it up off the ground though?

Thanks!
Do you mean whats keeping it from going lower or whats the set up on the suspension?

Sorry, I just meant it looks like it's not laying all the way out. Like maybe something is keeping it help up some.

There are a few areas that would need to be cut. One of them being the driveline tunnel. Its just about to hit when aired out. Also, I still have bump stops in the front, but they are cut down to be only about half an inch taller than the heads of the bolts that hold the lca to lower ball joints. I would have to do something with that, then cut more around the upper spring cup, and make the mounts shorter. Its really a bunch of stuff I dont know that I want to do yet. The front would be the easiest to do, but the back would be much harder and im not trying to rake it out lol

Ahh i see. Well regardless, it looks great. Definitely my favorite Volvo out there.

Wow thanks!

Yeah these things have a long way to go to get to the ground. Here is the height on a stock 122





This one is bagged but has lake pipes so it looks laid out





Im just going be content as is... but my contentment usually doesnt last long haha

Ive thought about stepping down in wheel size, but I dont know if I would like that as much. Have to try something out someday and see

[aLaFleur]

I know the feeling. My car has as high as a truck stock. Dropping a wheel size might be a good move though. Especially if you went with a solid steel wheel to be a little more era correct.

So awesome!

Love it dude. Definitely keen for some different/smaller wheels if you ever decided to try it. Everything else on it is absolute victory.

really nice

So just for fun I picked up a set of cheap 15's on craigslist. The offset is obviously not right, but I wanted to get an idea of the size in regards to the car, also I wanted to see if the smaller wheel would bring the car down much. It brought it down a little, but not much and I wouldnt really be able to tell that until I had all four mounted. Basically, I dont think I could get used to a smaller wheel on it. Maybe its because Ive had the 17's on there for so long. I think the 17's will be staying on for a while.


These are some shots of the 15's I tried.
