Hay Smooth480 did you ever fit that turbo exhaust?? If so did it change the performace any?

:badmood: Ahhhhhhh why is it that every bolt or nut you need to remove is either rusted on or rounded off :angry: It has taken us nearly two days to get the wishbones off, mainly because every nut and bolt was either rusted on or rounded off :cryhard: In the end we had to cut the nuts off with a gri...

Guys any one running Bilstein Streetline kit? I have been told about them by a racing buddy, who said they were a bit too hard for normal every day use, but would be fine for the track. The kit I was looking at was from Parts For Volvos Online. Sorry but I can't post the address as I'm too new :) I ...

Thanks Adam, I was looking at changing the shocks too. Had not seen which ones to go with yet, was looking at Koni adjustable but like most things I am having a tough time finding the right ones for the 480

Not 100% sure but I think they are black as I can't seem to see any other colour marking, and yes before you ask I have cleaned the mud off the springs

I was looking at the Jamex or the system 2 from proven-products, as I have heard both of these are much stiffer springs.
