Does it need more low?

I've never met a car that couldn't use more loud or more low. But hey, looks good!

I need to mess with the alignment now... maybe I'll drop it a bit more next weekend while I'm at it.

This. This is what it needs.

The car would literally explode into a cloud of rust.

Nice!

Needs some wider and thinner tires! Actually, I'm not that big a fan of "teh stance." I'm a fan of the yellow lights more than anything.

Yes.

Personally, I would definitely go lower. It looks good as it sits, but these look amazing.

Do you have any plans for wheels or are you sticking with the stockies?

On a more serious note, bushings? control arms? Round yellow Hella fog lamps (rally-style lights) mounted on the bumper? Replace the cracked turn signal before you get a ticket for it? :)

Unless I find one hell of a deal on something that bolts up the stockers will stay.

Bushings are shot, control arms are rusted to crap, I'm planning on tinting the high beams yellow like in the picture someone else posted on here, and the turn signal doesn't matter because Florida and their complete lack of shits given to motor vehicles.

Needs more euro spec headlights. Also those wheels^

I actually like the double square headlights more than the big ones, although the split color corners are pretty awesome. And wheels are so far down the list because I don't want to actually spend money on this car.

Cool. In that case I think a small spacer in the back would make a big difference. And Craigslist is your friend. I found a set of original BBS RSs for the 2002 on CR for under $500 and I refinished them myself. When I sold them I got almost $2k for them

True... the problem with these Volvos is the bolt pattern, they're 5x108... there's like 3 wheels in existence with that.

KatzManDu > roflcopter 11/30/2014 at 11:39

It's not worth doing the alignment work without the bushings and control arms (and tie rod ends, while you're at it) in good repair, IMHO.

I just want to get it centered up and not pulling too bad again, it got kinda funky after the drop.

I like where it sits now.

Oh weird... I didn't know that. What sizes would you ideally run? I seem to have a knack for finding wheels.

Actually some Volvos look badass with less low.

TDogg > roflcopter 11/30/2014 at 12:02

Just a hair more low.

Uh, hello. This is The Internet. Anything and everything that isn't on its way to *Mr Regular voice* MOAB always always aallllways needs MOAR LOWAR.

Many newer Fords have 5x108. But I don't know how backspacing and hub diameter would work.

Ferrari wheels bolt up. Do you need any other options?

Seriously though, the Virgos from the turbos look pretty good.

Looks like my 242 did with IPD springs. Does it handle any better? Cause those springs were awesome. Also, loudness. It probably needs more. I ran the GT with just a cat and it was fuckin amazing.

They do... But that's still like $300 more than I want to spend on this thing... That's almost what I paid for the car.

I'd probably like to stay with 15's or 16's, it has 14's on it right now. But I really have zero moneyz budgeted for wheels right now, and I just threw a new set of tires on this thing and don't want to do that again.

I'm thinking the same thing, maybe another inch or so in the front and half an inch in the back.

Nah, that's my buddy's house and his Mustang. The thing in the garage is a drift missle 280Z with an L28E+T in it that we built.

Yesssss! When the page loaded just now, I was thinking the back is nearly perfect. Front could use a little. Good plan.

I still don't scrape getting into my driveway(I have no clue how not) and the mudflaps aren't quite on the ground yet so I'd say I have more to go.
