Re: Volvo 360 From New Zealand
hi there how have you gone about lowering it? what springs ect? is it legal height? where abouts in new Zealand are you?
Re: Volvo 360 From New Zealand
Hi there.
It has 2 inch blocks in the rear with shocks from the front of a diesel land rover. Very stiff
Has a set of progressive king springs in the front but unsure what they are out of. Found them in a pile at a wreckers. Has standard shocks but need to replace them with some stiffer ones.
Front is a bit uncaptive but will be sweet when I put some new shocks In and get them shortened.
Is illegal height with the red wheels on it. Sits at about 75mm to 80 mm off the ground.
For wofs I just put on some 14s with taller tyres so it scrapes in over 100 mm (just)

Also I am in Wellington.
Am planning to build some front coil overs for it to go a bit lower still and will get it certed for the lower height

Re: Volvo 360 From New Zealand
By the time you add in shipping etc it would be almost as cheap to get custom wound springs made here
I also read that the really low version of dais aren't captive with standard shocks somewhere?

Re: Volvo 360 From New Zealand
You need to use the shortened adjustable dampers with the lowering springs to keep them captive.
The other option is to have the std ones machined down in length, but for the hassle you might as well make a better job of it and use the adjustables. You guys should look into a group buy to save on shipping.
