S60 AWD Lowering Springs
S60 AWD Lowering Springs
It's tax return time so im going for some lowering springs. Im seeing that there are alot of choices out there like Elevate,Eibach and H&R so im curious about fittiment on the AWD models since they are not listed as much when you type in Volvo S60's. Im looking to see some feedback on you guys thoughts or feelings on which brand is best all around. To me Eibach is the most trusted brand but im reading that they have a better ride quality then the H&R's but do not sit as low on the AWD models as the H&R's,any feedback would be great.....

It was only Eibachs for AWD's and I don't think they're made anymore.
Back in the day I installed a set of Eibachs, they were not properly designed and were way too low in the front and I kept hitting the bump stops and/or always bottomed out
What I wound up doing was installed S60 T5 front springs and kept the rear Eibachs, this resulted in a level car, lowered a bit (got that frog rear end down) and it drove 1000- times nicer
However, as mentioned I do not think they're available anymore.
BTW, H&Rs ALWAYS have a nicer ride (on Volvos) over Eibachs, and are NOT as low (you got the two mixed up), but again, I do not think you will be able to buy these anymore.
They were hard to buy back in 2003, not very popular and not in demand
