S-70 rear springs

Post by john200981 »

Am going to tow a small popup type trailer soon with my non-turbo S-70. Anyone got suggestions on correct springs to use for towing?

For a small trailer the springs that are fitted will be more than adequate.

Thanks, Bill. I was hoping that I was not going to have to search to the ends of the earth to find "special" springs.

My S-70 has been a great car so far....now with 270k miles on the odometer, it has had very few problems aside from the "normal" delamination of the inside door panels and some door lock issues. Consistent 27 mpg to as much as 31 MPG as well.
