Considering air shocks for my 850 Turbo

[MoVolvos]

... I thought about how to raise the front and back of my 98 S70 T5 because I see a lot of Volvo's in my area on Craigslist for sale that have their front ends damaged completely and the bumpers are still intact so I thought about raising the car also.

Hey BKM,

I'm a bit confused on your post there. Could you explain please?

From what I can tell the S70's or 850 bumpers are lower than most newer cars. The damaged cars for sale all have bumpers intact or with very little damage while the light assembly, hood, bumpers and even some fenders have been pushed back. I am not sure if those car's airbag deployed so I was contemplating raising the entire car some so the bumper would be hit in an accident.

(EDIT: Here's another with front end damage but bumper still intact)

I'd say the best remedy there is to not follow large SUVs with soccer Mom drivers on cell phones who suddenly brake hard when realizing they are about to hit something...
