rodrigo Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 looking to get Springs for my 2000 V70 XC AWD with Nivomat, so its a direct fit. Objective is to lower the wagon a bit so it sits nice on Peg's. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlntRoc Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 From what i was told you need a special tool to remove your springs. I didn't plan on re-using mine so i just cut them out. Someone should have a set lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that much lower than the factory V70R stuff?looks GREAT!!!for comparisson: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlntRoc Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 @ that moment I had IPD lowering springs in the front that i had clamped 2 coils together to give it that extra something. In the rear i had just cut off i think 1 1/2 coils off the stock springs. But to my disappointment as soon as i drove off the rear raised back up because of the Nivomats. That began my introduction into Nivomat shocks. You are probably better off using the IPD lowering springs. It comes with the spacer for the rear to relocate the Nivomats mounting spot so that it doesn't raise the rear of the car back to stock hieght.

FlntRoc Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 It used to last time I checked but i just looked & couldn't find a kit for the R but they do have the XC lowering springs. I would just email them. They have really good customer service. www.ipdusa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
