What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

Scan tech was an aftermarket Swedish parts maker who were located in Sweden, but I think they folded or were bought/acquired by the Koch Brothers

Al least with Springs on a P80 labor is a snap, and its pretty easy to tell if they go...snap, too. I don't think they have a horrible reputation on the springs but might be worth a search here.

Volvo part numbers

Standard (non-leveling suspension)
Volvo Coil Spring - Lesjofors 3546893

Heavy duty for all those bodies you have to move in NJ

A nice idea in principle but I have to park in a very tight multistorey car park every day. Perhaps I need to find an acquaintance with 55s and give it a go.
