Volvo lip mounting methods

[Stephen]

haha. for your DD?

I can't go that low. My volvo lip sits 5in above the ground and cheese grates itself coming out of the driveway.

Yes, and I live on a dirt road in NH. Suffice to say I will not be ice racing this car this year, hence the IX for the snowy months. Even with sport springs that thing has FEET of clearance in comparison.

Got some pics of mine finally.

I've been watching this thread as I want to get a Volvo lip to replace my now-missing (and previously tiny) 318iC lip. However, I have to ask: where did you get that cool M42 emblem?

I live on a small private road, and its pavement is glorified gravel, but it seems to be the turn ins for parking lots that always gets me

What's your suspension setup like?

[Stephen]

kinda odd setup, tokico springs and bilstein shocks

2 fingers of fender gap, 4 in the back [spring pads in]

Bought it off of a member who was selling them on M42club.com. I'm not sure if they're for sale anymore, you can sometimes find them for sale here.

And you still hit? You need stiffer springs my man.

Maybe, but some i scrape on when im going like 2 mph... my tires arent very tall i dont think, might be part of it

but in any event it only scrapes on the real steep stuff every so often, ive gotten better haha.

Maybe for track use if you want something that's cheap to replace when you go adventuring but on a street car it just doesn't look right. It was cool at first but now it's played out and like taurus skirts will soon no longer be the hot item to have for cheap.

What a bunch of fashion whores.
