We just did a massive suspension upgrade on our Project Volvo V70R by adding Elevate lowering springs, Elevate sway bars, and brand new OEM struts from FCP Euro. The difference makes our dadwagon feel like a sports car. Come along for my first drive in it after the changes!

as long as you guys keep doing Volvo stuff, i'm here to stay!
+Mr. Stuginator don't you worry. The Volvo isn't going anywhere.
I don't think that's ever going to stop. Even if this VR kicks the bucket someday, I'm a Volvo convert for life now. I'll have some kind of Volvo in my garage forever.
-Gregson
I feel the same way. Not enough Volvo content on youtube. I would love to add a V70R along side my Polestar. Volvo4life
same here
What is the production year of this car?
I grew up with my parents driving a Volvo V70R, never broke down, made a hum like a sports car when it turned on, I never really realized how special that car was until now.
The V70R is one of my two dream cars (the other being the E46 M3) that I have yet to acquire. I have the Volvo 850 T-5R and the 850R already and watching your videos is making me itch for a V70R. Great videos! I'm here to stay as long as there is a Volvo in it! :)
You guys need to get an 8Eight Fab 3in downpipe. I got one about a year ago, and it's been amazing - the sound is fantastic, really wakes up the car throughout the rev range, and the piece was extremely well put together. Joshua does a fantastic job, and there's currently a discount partnership between him and Robert Hilton Tuning, which you also need to do - next on my list for my 04 VR M66.
Already on order 🙂
yes 8eight fab makes a grate downpipe. and don't go with anyone else but Hilton for tuning.
The V70n R really is like a Swedish R34 GTR, in my opinion.
But even the normal non R V70n feels nice to drive, they feel predictable.
The 5 speed manual gearbox, it made a newer 6 speed Volkswagen gearbox (manual) feel cheap.
And the 5 cylinder engine it sound so nice.
Note: this is my opinion.
I'm just here because of the Volvo. Lol
same... same...
Me too but that was so f. boring I skipped and skipped and went to comments.
I cant wait to come back home so i can drive my v70!
I drive mine everyday even in the snow lol
I remember being that giddy the day after upgrading my cams, 19T turbo, green injectors and green tune ecu. Now my 1998 S70 T5 really flys!! Thanks for sharing your upgrade to your sweet V70R.
Can’t beat the lifetime replacement on ANYTHING from FCP- literally unbeatable.
hey the modes also change the throttle response, brakes (no nose drive or body roll in ADVANCE mode) vvt (straight pipe I can hear a exhaust different) . So from a dead start COMFORT is to me soft semi delayed, SPORT is a sharper response while ADVANCE is instant/very touchy immediate response.
Thanks! Yes I noticed a marked difference in throttle response when in Advanced mode compared to the others. When the 4C system was broken, there was a noticeable lag in the throttle when pulling away from a full stop. Now, completely different. Loving this thing even more now!
-Gregson
Mostly true, and excellent to point out. Throttle mapping in Comfort and Sport are the same, Advanced gets more aggressive mapping.
ELEVATE Volvo Performance can you confirm that the “s” mode engagement is the same engine management shift as advanced?
FYI - I had the same droop in my bumper. I heated that part uniformly with a heatgun, bent it beyond where it needed to go, then taped it like that (gave it a second to cool before taping). Removed the tape about an hour later and it held and looks perfect. Be sure it push it farther then level because it will droop a little after removing tape.
You guys a one of the very few actually making videos on volvo aftermarket. Thr hero we need.
If your front headlights suck then one or more of your ballasts is broken, they're brighter than most LED housed lights in brand new cars. Also might wanna look into the prive of a replacememt housing before you go there, refurbished go for $600+ and new over $1000.
Headlights aren't stuck, persay. They're just weak and they have 2 different bulbs. I'm not a fan of the headlights on this car at all and I'd like to upgrade them with a full retrofit of something a bit nicer/more modern/better/cooler looking. In due time. The fog replacements was a life changing upgrade for night time driving. Soooooo much better visibility now.
-Gregson
ShiftingLanes yeah, go the "theretrofitstore.com" get you some morimoto projectors, they would make a huge difference.. Also I found that my rear headlights are much better than my front headlights 😂
My 70r stock lights work really well and when my fog lights are on are barely noticeable hmm
I've owned 3 volvos with HID, they are all brighter than any BMW or Audi I have had in the past....hmmm maybe he doesn't have them on.....lol
BigpoppaKC the V70R comes stock with self leveling xenon lights.
Gradually approaching the capabilities of my 2005 V70R 6-speed w/ 172k on the odo.
Loved my V70R! Now T6
Be careful with the lowering and snow. We had a 2006 V70R in Randolph, snow will get packed between the driveshaft and the tunnel making the car sequels like a banshee. Took the car to both Smythe and Prestige, both said it was a known issue and the "fix" didn't really do anything. So if you hear an obnoxious sound while driving in the snow, that's it.
Used to have a 440 li years ago, great car. Now seriously thinking about going for a C30 for my next car.
Eros Ipd 17x8, and 100% support the pilot supersports. have that combo (235's) on our 04 Titanium Grey/Nordkap Auto V70R, it has the iPd sways but no springs, and handles incredibly
I was here to actually see step by step what is being upgraded or replaced. But you just took it to a shop. Well I had hope for your channel. Moving on.
Hey guys nice to see that "the Grey Wagon" is comming along nicely.As said struts(you could have gotten KW variant2,coils),swaybars,etc really change the car.Those parts were tired.As for wheel options,i have a few(had pegs 18" under the 855R)
-Portunus
-Odysseus(under mine,V70T6 now, 19")
-And for the sporty light wheel option well if you go Volvo there's only 1,imo,go for the Polestars,if you can get them.
Keep up the great work guys,loving the video's,gr,walter
You mentioned a quick jack? How much was it? I feel like that's something I need in my life
I think we paid like $1500 for it, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I believe there was a slight discount. Tavarish has one, but he has a 4-post so it's not really necessary for him. 21" of clearance though with the QJ. Worth it in my opinion and a good budge option.
-Gregson
Great stuff! It would be cool so see more of the actual car, and maybe some footage of the work done. Anyway, thanks for the update!
Like I said in the video, just got a bunch of new equipment and this will be the last shot like this. More work shots coming up soon!
-Gregson
Really looking forward to that! Thanks for the reply
what was wrong with the chassis mode system?
We had a leaky front strut and a completely broken front left censor. With those two items replaced, 4C system is back in business!
-Gregson
Youe vids are killing me. I almost bought an s60r last summer and j ended up with a modded dsg audi instead. Didnt get the volvo cause i only found clean autos. The two manuals i found were rough. Prepare to travel if you want one of these in a specific condition
Haha sorry man. The autos are rewarding in their own right, but I am really excited to manual swap this thing.
-Gregson
I think you changed to many parts at once to know what made the biggest difference, but my money is on the sensor that fixed the 4C system,though all were likely helpful. I hope in future videos you will show more of the repairs being performed, maybe not a tutorial but at least a few shots of the job in progress. The struts are EXPENSIVE. And you can't get them from just anywhere
A definite recommend for power: Euro Sport Tuning Stage 3 tuning kit for the P2 V70R
My '06 V70R is very, very jealous. Keep it up! Mine's awaiting a collar sleeve :/
A recommend for wheels: TSW Nurburgring or Bathhurst models or what I consider the ultimate for Volvos, because they were made for Volvos any wheel by Japanese tuner VST.
GREAT suggestion! The Nurburgring’s look incredible. Love that look.
-Gregson
Gregson: Check out FAST Wheels FC04A Flow Formed 19" Wheels look like they belong on this platform, and weigh only 20lbs for a 19" wheel, 18lbs for 18" wheels. They look like BBS FI / SR (but much cheaper) and a bit like the newer Polestar wheels. Check them out! I have them on my XC60 and they look great. I also have an S60R as well.
Good day, how low did you lower it? And what brand spring did you use?
yes my v70 Ris amazing. Love to here what shifting lanes are doing to this R keep them coming.
Thanks bud! Cheers
-Gregson
What mudflaps do you have?
For the Best Tires you shoot have the Continatal for the Volvo sowell the summer as winter one
Keep the pegs they are a Volvo staple.
Elevate doesn't offer products for the pre 2001 Volvo's 😐 looks like I'm on my own with the 98 V70 XC lol
1_New Friend Your go to will be IPD, Viva Performance, Euro Sport Tuning
Got Tarantulas and ARD for the tuning
Hey why not upgrade the volvo with a volvo v60 frontbumper lights and side panel and hood at the front from 2015? would look pretty cool ^^ and i totally agree change the crapy automatic transmission and maybe go for a polestar tuneup
I think it was kinda funny to hear you say that the headlights sucked, because the headlights on my V70R make it look like I'm driving with a collapsed sun on the front of my car :D I have people flash their high beams at me at night all the time which is kinda annoying, but still I can see everything in front of me within 1/4 mile (I live far out in the country). As far as I know the headlights, or none of the lights on the car have been replaced or upgraded but I may be wrong because the headlights at least are extremely effective.
You probably need/needed to re-aim your headlights. Even if no one has touched them, a lot of cars come with them aimed improperly from the factory. You probably are blinding people.
Ipd makes an awesome repo with a black hoop inside and machined face.
After the subframe bushings and subframe bars (not sway bars) it will be on rails
there are no "subframe bars" on P2 Volvos
Not going to lie I was a little disappointed. Just like when you said the engine was fully built. You just put lowering springs and sway bars on LOL
"replica" always makes me wonder if they're heavy or properly made.. But if they are okay weight wise i'd love to see the Eros wheels on your car. Such a great wheel design imho.
Agreed! The "snowflake" or "mesh" look of those types of wheels look amazing on practically any car, but especially good on the VRs.
-Gregson
I love IPD, i am a west coaster, so they have been my go to place for volvo.
We haven't ordered anything from IPD yet, but we know of them through the Volvo community. Maybe we can work with them on a project sometime!
-Gregson
cece osborn I totally agree ipd's got some good products be safe Drive cool
I've already been asked what coilovers I've got on my V70R and it's completely stock. I scrape on stuff everywhere I can't believe you actually lowered it. What's the ground clearance like 2-3 inches?
Honestly it's not bad at all. I've never scraped once other than getting it in my driveway when the bumper was droopy. My WRX also scrapes as I have a steep driveway. After the bumper was fixed, no scraping even with the lower ride height. I think it's at 3.5"-4" now.
-Gregson
Getting BC coils for my 04 c70 hpt soon
@shiftinglanes you have to get the aftermarket led lights for the front headlights and you will notice the difference driving! Plus they have the projection lights which move with the the steering wheel sensory! Best of luck I have a 2005 Volvo V70 2.5t with ARD tune and I'm making 415 awhp 345-375ft/lbs with the lpt 18t at 19psi max and I have all of the v70r options including the 4c system and have done some work to it! Check out swedespeed.com I have sr1 ESR gold rims and s60R front bumper with performance lip and turbo/ brake tunneling through the fog lights.... with 450cfm electronic fans and have 195,000mi. I live in California now but I'm from cherryhill New Jersey so you're in my neck of the woods! Good luck brother!!! Reply back with a simple yes or no if you can I know that you are busy!
Good info. Thanks for this. We’re looking into lights now. Your car sounds awesome! Hey Cherry Hill! 👋🏻 only about an hour from me. Will never reply with just a yes or now for a true fan. Cheers dude, keep in touch.
-Gregson
Odd you say fogs help. On my V70R you can’t even really tell they are on. The low beam HID completely overpower them. I wish I could run fogs with high beams with a jumper like I did years ago with my VR6 Jetta.
I think the headlights on this thing are so shot that the dogs make a huge difference. Will be upgrading in 2018 for sure.
-Gregson
It's not that they wear or something.
How much wheel rub do you get with the lowering springs? I get a tiny bit of rub with stock on my R.
Small amount of rub at full left lock. Everything else is fine. We’ll see what happens with new wheels and tires in the spring. Still have stock 17” pegs right now.
-Gregson
ShiftingLanes I really like the M Technica Rallye, they are 19' though.
BUT DID YOU PRESS THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON 5 TIMES?
I wish I can just mail my R with the m66 and let y’all fix it for me 😩 lol
Bb2 rk2 I have those on my v70
A nice other company to use KT4
Tune? New program will do a lot👌🏻
No tune yet. Check out the dyno video we did on this car a few weeks ago. I don't believe it's tuned, but it's possible it has one. We'll see once we get some VIDA/DICE software hooked up.
-Gregson
Dave leach sells laptops with vida, look him up on Facebook, you should also join the Volvo p2r page on Facebook if you haven't already done so
Volvo parts cost enough as it is..... I dont think I would spend any money improving the suspension on my 2010 S 80....I dont plan on weaving through cones on a obstacle course ....I just care about straight off th line horsepower....my car is a T 6 turbo with 281. horsepower.......it gets the job done....😄
Do it with a 240.
Your car now handles better than a fast economy car and rides like crap because of those springs.
Looking forward to seeing more content of work done on the Volvo with the new equipment. No offence intended, but you waffle a lot and the video could have been half as long if you didn't repeat yourself so much.
Good shit
Volvo power
Cars for mens
and women.
Lol...umm... Volvo...Monroe...OEM ...errr which is it.
