HOW HOW HOW did you not find THIS?!: How to fit rear lowering blocks - http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... =13&t=8890 :lol:

No U-bolts involved. Those are for escorts. You want the blocks off Dai. He'll supply you with the bolts too.The blocks should be in line with the axle and mounting plate for the damper.

no offense, but if you dont know, and cant find the thread explining how to do it, then im not sure if its a good idea doing it.

get a pro to do it, the last thing you want is a block to fall out/ bolts to come off as itll stuff you into a barrier. good luck though
