1999 S70 Intrax lowering springs front don't fit

Post by arwidv »

Hey guys long time lurker here.

So i recently got a pair of intrax lowering springs and the rear ones were installed just fine but the front ones don't seem to fit. The mechanic said

they are far too wide (7 inches compared to the stock ones at 5.3). Can anyone shine light on the problem? Thanks. Here are some pictures

Better check with them. Everything I saw indicates these don't work for the S70.
