I finally put in my TME spring set - they arrived the day before I went back to work, so I had to wait 3 weeks before I could install 'em... They come with spacers for the rear nivo's, and I added another 1/2" per side to drop it so it's almost level front to back.

Definitely stiffer, but not too harsh. Only the slightest rub on the outer forward lip of the arch line in the front, no rub in back.

I put in the stainless rear brake lines while I had it apart. Here's a height comparison with a stock XC..

seeing it next to a stock XC reminds me how far it's come :lol:

No difference. Mind you, I haven't tried braking from 140 yet :rolleyes:

The AWD flex lines I removed had no cracks in them, and at only 120K, I wouldn't expect them to have been bad - I just wanted them to match the front :lol:

Hahahaha, plus the changes in handling from the springs will affect how the brakes feel when slowing rapidly from speed..

H,
The car looks stunning as always my friend. Definitely a bit lower than my Volvo lowering springs.

We've gotta meet up now that I'm home!
Talk to you soon.

Nice H. The car gets more beutious every time you post a pick.

What the heck is Canada Day all about?

"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." - Abe Lincoln
