Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
yep, thats the down side of cutting and welding the housings to shorten them. the are rarely straight after + you have weld slag on the inside to worry about as well.
Its the same money for components that fit tho.
are you converting those from shocks into struts?

What height do you have the coilovers set at in this picture? I'm preparing to build some for my 242, and I'm thinking about passing on the whole shortening thing. I don't need extreme low rider/tucked tire status, I just want some better handling and adjustability
If you're talking to me yes I am.. There will be info in my build thread once I get my v90 spindles.
You aren't worried about the side loads ?
Most shocks won't cope well with being used as a strut because they aren't designed to withstand the same loading.
just did this exact setup and the stock volvo gland nuts do not fit .. had my friend machine them to fit , and i believe my tubes are bent , those kyb's were a beetch to fit
Why not just use some dampers that are built to fit like these http://www.classicswede.co.uk/-50mm...ampers_-Pair_240___260/p1733344_15352630.aspx
would save a lot of messing about making a far from optimal damper fit
