Less 'Soccer Mom' and more 'Go Anywhere'!!! - pics later...

I have figured out how to raise the P2 XC70 (going for 52mm f/r lift) I have the specs and parts list - off to the machine shop!
Am I the only person out there that wants to back-out the 'soccer mom' aspect by about 85%? - Installed BF Goodrich All Terrain KO's this week, it looks much more 'capable' now...

IPD Blue silicone turbo hoses, TCV, new fluids & filters, rebuilt the upper strut assemblies, ball joints and bushing next (found a UK source for urethane bushings) I still have the 'rattle' - but, I'll find it - yeesh! Probably a worn anti-roll bar bushing(s) - research is on going...

IPD made a kick-butt show car from an XC70 a few years back. It was WAY cool!
