just a thought.... but why buy the CC with the added suspension height in the first place ?

 

Go aftermarket, height controllable air suspension perhaps. Might not be too expensive in the long run compared to buying the suspension arms from a normal v60 and going through trouble of conversion.

Do they sell CC plastics to put them on a regular Volvo? Might be cheaper...

 

Yes, one guy on Instagram has done it on a V90 and it looks awesome... With bags hehe

Hi Everybody,
I have a 2019 Volvo V60 Cross Country, and I'm one of those crazy who want to lower it
I've checked all the suspension tuning offers on the Cross Country and there's nothing at all...
I dove deeper into the mechanics of the suspension and was surprised to find that the springs and shocks are the same as the Volvo V60, as it turned out all the differences in the arms.

I'm curious what you worked out for parts there and how. It's been a long time since I looked. I was thinking it was the uprights/spindles where the raise is done. What did you find for matching springs/shocks I'd be surprised even if the dimensions are the same to the V60 that the parts would not differ in tuning. There are a lot of variants anyways in those parts to sort out. The rear leaf spring is a bit special, the ride height and the rate of the spring are modified by the mountings, even if the same spring part is used it can be varied. Nobody has previously figured out positively how the "lift" is done to a V60 to make it a V60CC.

 

there is no doubt that the lower the center of gravity improves handling and feel. If you are one of the fortunate ones that lives in an area with good quality relatively smooth roads and you want to lower your ride... it's your vehicle, do what you feel will bring you the most enjoyment from your vehicle ownership journey (that's what individualization is all about).

Out of necessity I am one of the "crazy" ones looking to do just the opposite and raise my S60. Where I am at up here on the Northern Front Range they design a significant amount of roadways to be used as "excess water" runoff channels that utilize fewer "storm drains" (this is especially true in the neighborhoods). this type of roadway sculpting can make bisecting intersections' approach angles somewhat steep and treacherous to low slung vehicles. In my neighborhood crossing some of these intersections takes patience and appropriate angles to traverse, some sound like an aggravated assault in progress and others sound more like 1st degree murder to the underside of the vehicle's bumper covers.🤬 keep in mind this is on a non CC vehicle that has the "dynamic" suspension...If I had the sport suspension (approx. 25mm lower) I am sure most crossings would resonate into the murderous category)



I too am curious about what suspension parts actually differ between the Cross Country and the standard V60/S60 models, although I hope I don't have to go quite so far as to changing out suspension components.
I haven't dug too deep yet as I am hoping that there is enough room for a simple tire change going up from a P235/45/18 (V60/S60-OEM size) to a P235/50/18(V60CC/S60CC-OEM size) series this spring will resolve most of my issues (approx. 12mm raise in ride height and a -3% speedo error). If the scraping is still antagonistic, I will do some in depth research on the differences between the SPA platform V60/S60 CC and non CC vehicles (doing some preliminary digging... it appears that most of the regular V60/S60 suspension components are shared and apparently 2018 was the last year the S60CC was available here in the U.S.)

 

In this case I used one of the online parts sources. There is actually some use to those over VIDA, depending which vendor platform they seem to run on. I think I used volvopartswebstore for this. What you can see when you search parts, and click on a part, is what other models it fits. For most of these suspension arms, you see a V60CC part shows XC90, XC60, V90CC applications. Then the same part for the V60 shows S60, V60 and V90 applications. VIDA will not show you that, you can only browse parts one VIN at a time and no cross references.

The next step, since I have some up close familiarity with the suspension parts now, is search the part numbers in Google and find images of the various parts to compare.

VIDA would be useful for figuring out specific parts for a car, like "which of these 9 different springs do I have". VIDA will filter the list and show only the parts for the VIN you are browsing. Sometimes you can figure specific parts by the variant codes, if you have the variant list for your car, and each part description online may list "variant code: XXXX" so you can match them. Or parts listed by factory/chassis number like "FC70 -234567" you can match up to the factory (FC70 is SC) and the last six of your VIN. But the only "positive" way to have the right part for a specific car when multiple are available is VIDA.

That's all my secrets of figuring out parts lol.

I do appreciate all the info, it will be helpful in tracking down parts for a few projects this year (other than just trying to stop the assault on the underside of the bumper covers).

the S60 is coming up on it's 4 year service very shortly. Just as a precaution I will send it through un-modified (there are a few things I hope to get them to resolve through warranty before it finally elapses).

I also see an Orbit subscription in the very near future (after looking at the videos and reading some of the "how-to" on the forums, this is something I can work with in the journey with the S60)

 

ST XA COILOVER SUSPENSION 18267017
As a result I have 370mm and 370mm on 2019 Volvo v60 CC T5.

The front height was adjusted to the max and the rear was adjusted with no spacers.

This is the only adjustment possible at the moment, there is no way to go lower or lift up with factory suspension with coilovers on CC

 

You’ve achieved exactly what I’m looking to do here. Looks great! I just acquired a 2023 V60 CC and am wondering if I could get a little more details on this process? I have someone interested in assisting me with this, but they’d like to get a better idea of the process given it hasn’t been accomplished much.

 

More photo

 

looking good.

 

Thank you for the post and pics on your V60 CC. I absolutely love the look.

I have a 2024 V60 CC and really interested in lowering it.

How has the car been riding? Have you had any issues with how the car functions at all? Or if the tire hits the arch very easily with small bumps?

Also is the lowering reversible if I needed to resell the car?

I'm def a noob with car customizing.

No issues at all, my point its more comfortable than factory suspension in daily use.
You can always take it off and put factory shocks and springs. 3-4hrs of labor

 

I follow this guy on Instagram who has a slammed V60CC: @thulins_garageab

 

Hi, new to the forum and recently bought a CPO ‘21 V60 CC. Not much option around for lowering this platform. FCPEuro lists the BC Racing Coilovers ZG19BR as compatible for this platform. Anyone experience this? Any thoughts? Thanks!

 

Hi! I saw the V60 and I love it! I have a CC as well do you happen to have an IG I can follow?
