I put some -40mm Intrax springs under my car and i must say, i love them. It is a lot firmer now, doesn't roll anymore like a boat while the comfort didn't suffer much really. i used a bit cheaper way of compressing the springs instead of a spring compressor, works great: http://i30.tinypic.com/keb4...

I think its normal really. I bought my 2.0 almost new and the fuel consumption when i'm driving 60km/h has always been (on a flat road with no wind) around 5 to 5.5 l / 100km according to my infocentre. or mine has the same problem since it came from the factory :p

I have only 1 car, my 480. Never had any problems with it (yet :P) but that's probably because of the low milage :P (it hit 55.555km 2 days ago :P, bought it with 34.000km from the owner of a Volvo dealership but had to sell it when they got kids and it turned out you can't put child seats in the re...

I had the same when replacing my cambelt 2 weeks ago. I don't think it really matters as the cambelt sprocket is wider than the cambelt itself.

Well, that kinda sucks. What part of the exhaust is lower than the 1,7 version? What exactly is different about the 2.0 than an 1.7 or a turbo (wheelarches? suspension? exhaust?)?
