S60 FWD springs in a 2001 V70 T5?

Post by SoCalV70T5 »

Found a set of Vogtland S60 FWD springs on FB marketplace. I have a V70 T5. Vogtland's website shows a different part number for each product. What technical differences might there be between these two products? Different spring rates due to the extra weight over the rear end in the wagon? Different suspension setup between S60 and V70?

Ultimately would I be fine running these springs or should I shy away from them?

Volvo has different spring rates for most of their cars. Weight distribution may be part of it, but a T5 will have stiffer springs than a regular base model. It may well fit but I would look to fit the matching rears or you may throw out the balance of the car.
