Has it made any difference that you can feel?And what about the brakes? I'm especially interested in the SS brake lines. Noticable improvement in pedal feel under hard braking?

S60 R Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 The upper engine mount is def worth it, especially with the manual tranny. Shifting is more precise, and throttle response is quicker. Doesnt set the world on fire, but def noticeable.As for the brakes, the pedal feel is a little firmer and they do haul u down quicker. What I noticed (almost more so than the better braking performance) was the suspension, especially in advanced mode. The rotors are something like 5 pounds lighter each. In advanced, the suspension lost alot of the choppiness over bumps in the road, rebounding better. I hope that makes sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S60 R Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Any special tools needed? Thanks for the info.A screwdriver, hammer, pliers, and alot of patience if the old one is still good And two socket wrenches (or regular adjustable should work).Here's a link to some pics...http://www.volvo-forums.com/2005-Volvo-S60..._item-cid55.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
