1999 V70 T5 Rear suspension ride height (measurments IPD Blue Rear Springs )

My experience with HD springs: They are great, I like them. They add stiffness and therefore control without the hassles of lowering the frame. It's really great when you have any weight at all in the car. But they do add harshness when the car is empty. Not a lot, but some.

Haven't driven it yet, and currently have front end dangling in air with front struts and wheel bearing replacement Job underway.

Will measure rear ride height tomorrow.

Arrrghh. Short part to finish the front end.

Never updated this thread but tons of reviews on the IPD blue rear springs on their site

My version...love them. They are listed as 20% stiffer than stock, but I don’t notice this on our good roads. I do prefer a stiff suspension over my Grandfathers Oldsmobile

I:going on 6 years and 110k miles on these and still like them

Stance after 6 years /110k

Second picture is just because Elizabeth is awesome

On some vessels bumping into the stops gets you yelled at.
I think the focus on the other thread was up front.

I had shagg loaded with 960 pounds of tires and maybe another 300 pounds of other crap

Rear ride height was 24 inches in IPD Blues.
