WOW, did not know how good the car could feel.
I can now hit a manhole cover or pothole and not worry about bottoming out.
Amazing now, feels like a real car.
I bought these same ones from same seller for my daughters 04 s60, they are on for almost 2 years not and still feel great.

for my 04 c70 cost $211 comes with springs, strut and top bearings, both parts, all assembled, too less than 1/2 hr per side and was on the road ASAP.

Now sending KONI's back for warranty, they felt bad day one, glad I don't pay someone for the labor.

I don't find Volvo as a choice in that site ..maybe they stopped carrying them

Do you know if they use OEM strut bearings up top? Thats the weak spot in aftermarket.

Bolt on/off sounds great! I have a indie who assembles mine for one hour labor with the big , tabletop spring compressor. Much nicer than mine.

Direct link to the struts for Volvo.

Does not look like OEM, but might be mistaken?

Hard to beat that price !!

I was using the " vehicle finder" option which didn't show Volvo as a choice..thanks

No one buys Koni for comfort.

I think the koni valves were shot day one, were no dampening at all

Here are links to seller, not OEM but very good 2 years after on s60 and my c70 has never felt better.

seems like search funtion in the store does not work, try search in ebay put in completestruts and s60 01 -09 same ones

How many miles on the S60? I could be wrong but I think most of the units will last 50,000 miles at best.

I bet you're not wrong.

Boom. Marketing says you can have it all. Physics says you have to choose performance or comfort.
