Lifted Volvo v70xc 1999

[Sandforce]

how big soles can fit in the wheel arches of a v70xc?
Height 30mm and new springs. Must approach 1.5 dm between deck and upper fender edge. Sits level matic. Also moved the lower damper bracket up and put a spacer there, without knowing for sure how the level mat dampers work, I thought it should be best to have them in roughly the same zero position.

Tried googeling for a new rear stabilizer but almost just find original and i find them expensive.Does anyone know if i can replace the upper mounts with something else so i dont have to change the hole setup?

Do you have self leveling rear shock absorbers (Nivomat)? There are conversions out there and I believe Volvo may have offered a regular shock absorber option. Finding that may be a challenge.

On the front, the limiting factor is the lower spring seat. You may have to either move the rims outwards, or the spring seat upward somehow, or increase the distance between the spring lower seat and the bottom mounts on the strut where it bolts to the steering knuckle/hub.

Perhaps look if coil over shocks are available that sometimes have narrower springs which may also allow more height in the tires.
What you will then have to watch is how much the front wheels turn as they will rub on the inner fenders on both the front and back of the front wheels.

you start this project with a car with a flimsy awd system and very limited wheel space. i really doubt the end result will be pleasing.
just my 2 cents.

Wouldnt start it if i didnt want it.
