good day all,
from what i can gather from a quick search, the spring cups on most 300s are starting to fail. and having looked at mine just now they seem to be slightly porus! how would one go about getting another set, given that i assume volvo have stopped making them?
also managed to get the damper top nut off and it seems i dont have the cartridge type even though its a late 360? (or have i misread the heinz book of lies?)
can i replace them with cartridge insterts or is it better to replace them with legs that take cartridges and ones with good cups on them?

Re: spring cup and damper inserts
The legs you have will take cartridges. All (AFAIK) Afetrmarket inserts are cartridge ones. As for the cups www.carpanels.com is hadrians site they list them and some places can still get them. They were only like £8 a side when i did mine a long while ago.

Re: spring cup and damper inserts
awesome man, thanks. nearest dealer is basically my next door neighbour!!
ill get some shocks orderd from kyb now i know they'll fit!!
im assuming the positioning of the cup is important, ie the way the 'curve' goes?
