cannot wait to slap this on my s90, along with stiffer shocks

[@SATSMotors]

Stiffer shocks will make a huge difference in ride quality!

[@rodnoy671]

What shocks do you want to use?

[@624static]

@@rodnoy671 not sure yet, I'll be shopping around for them soon I'm just fixing some front end damage first

[@jesperselahn4725]

Great video, I wonder if you know what it's like when you have nivomat (self-adjusting) leaf springs and shock absorbers on the car, will it still work with your control arm? or do you need to have regular leaf springs? And why do you need to cut off a piece of the leaf spring?

[@SATSMotors]

It will work with nivomat, but it will be better with regular leaf and shocks. Nivomat will not lower that much and the nivomat shock will try to raise the car up. The end of the leaf spring needs to be cut of because it will hit the knuckle. The leaf spring is not designed to go that low on the control arm.

[@nikobikes868]

Hi! Pleased to watch your videos! I am in a search of an opposite solution. I would like to lift my V90 at least 3cm. Is there any chance?

[@SATSMotors]

You can lift it with the control arms I have for sale. I don't remember how much it raises the car but you can see the highest setting in the video. But the leaf spring will hit the CV joint at full droop when the highest position from the lower control arm.

[@nikobikes868]

@SATSMotors Thank you! I contacted you via email.

[@louisderycke6200]

Is it possible to remove the leafspring and put coilovers in the back or is there a way i can get is lower

[@SATSMotors]

it is possible, but the coilovers are quite expensive and the lower control arm where the coilover will mount is not made for that kind of load and may break off.

[@louisderycke6200]

​@@SATSMotorsis there a place that i can find stronger lower control arms

[@SATSMotors]

You can let some fabricator strengthen it. But nothing for sale. If you use the car on good roads and not that much hard driving and heavy loads you can just fit the coilovers. Most do it this way. But I have seen many breaking also.

[@louisderycke6200]

​@@SATSMotorsthank u

[@blakebailey852]

I have the opportunity to buy a late 90’s 960 (S90). Im well versed in fabrication but I’m worried I will not be able to get the car low enough. I would like it to tuck the top of the tire or more behind the fender. This is very awesome and definitely a step in the right direction for the 960. But does anyone know the hard limit to how low you can go? and what it takes to get there. Thanks in advance.

[@SATSMotors]

With leaf spring you can go a bit lower then in the video, but not much.

[@huntdavis6503]

Where can i order the parts? I want to lower my s90 but im struggling to find the parts to do it.

[@SATSMotors]

Contact [e-mail] for more info about the lowering control arms.

[@jonelrrab626]

Will these work with the original rear suspension or are there any other modifications needed?

[@SATSMotors]

It will work with the original suspension. Only the leaf spring ends have to be cut 10mm shorter if you want it to go as low as possible.

[@jonelrrab626]

@ alright so no need to change the nivomat springs?

[@SATSMotors]

@jonelrrab626 would recommend but will work with nivomat spring also. Standard shock absorbers would be preferred

[@fredriksgravandersson4968]

Can you ship lowering kit to sweden?

[@SATSMotors]

Yes! Contact [e-mail] for further info

[@BroPskov]

Looks awesome! Congrats! Will it work with nivomats?

[@SATSMotors]

It works with nivomat, but the nivomat shock will raise the car up and will not be as low.

[@rodnoy671]

Hello, what type of steel do you use?

[@SATSMotors]

It is made out of high yield strength steel.

[@chinadonconan6933]

What’s the benefits of this over rear Coilovers?

[@SATSMotors]

You could still use the OE leaf spring and also the OE shock absorbers. Coils work well, but the lower shock absorber mount is a weak point and might break when the spring force is also on it.

[@aloisdecroon6096]

Really cool! Looks well made and is it lighter than the original part ?

[@SATSMotors]

Lighter then original, but still strong enough!

[@FancyBrent]

random question: how is the rear hatch glass of your 944 holding up after resealing it a year ago?

[@SATSMotors]

Still perfect! Only the top molding does not fit well. Had used a little bit to much sealant up top. Now the molding don't clip on as it should.

[@FancyBrent]

thats great to hear, ill be restoring mine soon so if you have any must know tips, feel free to share 👍

[@SATSMotors]

Take off the gas struts and the lock mechanism from the hatch. Otherwise it will force the glass away from the hatch.

[@FancyBrent]

okk, ty for sharing!!

[@airekofvinlandslayerofthes7965]

Do you ship to the USA? Not sure if you're in the states or not Also what are you using on the front end?

[@SATSMotors]

Yeah I can ship to USA. Contact me [e-mail]. For more info for the front you can watch the video "My Rusty Fenders Lead Me To Suspension Modifications - Volvo 960" kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5vdgIuebqahjLssi=RT8KTPIOUez6JuKT I use 40 mm wider front LCA's, Volvo 850 coilovers with custom camber adjustment, Volvo 240 inner tie rod and 20mm wheel spacer.

[@itz_pengu5197]

Hey! What rim/tire size is this? And how much lower is this then original? Do you ship to Norway?

[@SATSMotors]

I use JR16 18x8,5 ET40 wheels with 235/40 R18. Rear ride height adjustment range is 75 mm with 15 mm steps. Maximum lowering from standard ride height is about 50-65 mm depending on the car. My car is about 50mm lower then original. I can ship to Norway. Contact [e-mail]

[@hase3362]

wish I could get these through TÜV in Germany 😂 would instantly buy them

[@SATSMotors]

You probably could get them certified as an one off part in Germany but it ain't going to be cheap :D

Я думаю что это очень ненадежная конструкция! вы проверяли ее под нагрузками?

[@SATSMotors]

This has been strength tested in a hydraulic bench and also used under the car with no issues.
