Falcone Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hey guys, I know this has been covered before, but I wanted something a little different. I just want to know what your preferences are for lowering springs (max 1.5inches), and thats it,. No why's, or defending your set-up, just the set up alone and one con (no pros), thats it. So one thing you can say bad about your set-up, and thats it, state set-up, and what, if anything, is your biggest concern with the lowering springs. no shocks. Thanks, and much appreciated, I just need a bunch of solid answers for the 850, thanks again, and also again, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynodyno312 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 So far I'm liking the H & R's. Not too much of a drop and the ride is firm without being harsh. No problems so far with rubbing or ground clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 wow, wrong question to ask. everyone has their own favorite....you're better off searching and looking for a spring that suits your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsterns Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Eibach - make funny noisesI get little squeeks from my Eibach's also on my '98 V70 T5 (I know 850 only but the early V70 is almost the same). Have you figured out the cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsDemise Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 has anybody installed wagon lowering springs in a sedan? i want lower my ride but if the rear sags as much as it does now when i have people in the backseat that would be bad.

Guest Guest_Michael_* Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 what kind of noise are you talking about?Can´t get rid of a grinding noise when turning the wheel standing still, or going slow. That´s with the Eibachs, brand new Koni FSD, etc. They are installed correctly for sure, so, that the funny sound you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s with the Eibachs, brand new Koni FSD, etc. They are installed correctly for sure, so, that the funny sound you mean?It kind of sounds like a metal on metal squeak, even with brand new upper seats. Stopped or low speed turning is the most noticeable, it sort of sounds like the coil isn’t seated completely or is trying to turn in the seat. Written descriptions are tough at best, but this would be real tough to record and post an MP3. That might be a first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_Michael_* Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 now that is interesting! Sounds exactly what i´m having here...though i don´t think you can record iti was mad to hear that sound after changing almost everything after having an issue with my steering column. Changed shocks, upper seats, everything....still, can´t think of any reason for it??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilled man Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 i resent that statement!! :lol: hey i had aaron's help with it. then I am right its not the top mount on the rears you have to worry about thats idiot proof its the lower mount and making sure the when you tighten the bottom bolt its dead center and it doesnt slip out of position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
