Thats sweet how they did a buick bodyline from the 50s on the amazons

No problemo my friend! Just got my MOT for the next two years, really tempting to put on the cut springs... But i'll try hold on and wait until the snow is gone, the bumpy ride is awful! And I need the ground clearance when drifting in the snow.

I'll make an intro soon.

The oil pan is safe. ;-)
I'll hook you up with a picture, Photobucket says come back later... First thing scraping is the mudflaps.

Awesome, I have more questions that I will likely ask you once this becomes more serious (aka I find a car).

Why care about TUV even if your country follows that standards.. Just have a set of approved springs or original ones for controls, MOT, PKK or anything else concerning DMV.

[Andersg]

How far will those coils get your down? I am in America, and we don't have TUV standards luckily. I will most likely cut springs while the coils come in.

Also, when lowered what is the first thing in danger of scraping? I don't want another car where it is the oil pan...

I want a 240 wagon just like this. What makes them hard to slam? Can you not just customize some coils to the top of the struts?

Anymore pictures of lowered ride height/suspension set up?

The square looking wagons er awsome! I love mine. They tend to rust in the floor, and at the rear arches. Luckily, mine is a one-owner and imported from Belgium, so it hans't been on salty roads to much.
Kaplhenke (http://www.kaplhenke.com/index.php?o...d=33&Itemid=32) makes coilovers, but they are not TÜV. There is 40mm lowering springs wich is TÜV, but they are useless and needs to be cut anyway. Thats why most 240s are on cut original spring... The ride is shit, but it's worth it.

This is what 40mm TÜV lowering springs look like. Useless!

Sorry, not yet. Bought her i December, won't bother losing ground clearance 'til the snows gone... But I have a staggered set of OZ Hartge's that will go nicely with cut coils when the heat is back on and the snow is melting. Then, it's picture-time! For now it's XC 240 snow-dorifto edition.
