My s60 is AWESOME....only have about 100-150 miles on it but the more I drive it the more I like it!

I did the tcs/abs delete and I haven't even thought about it...

Best of luck with your new set up!!

what suspension are you running? im thinking of doing competition engineering adjust shocks in rear and strange single adjustables up front. ive been told to put stock rear springs in the back and do heater hose mod for them. still cant decide on front springs?

All Midwest Chassis for me...
MWC Adj Lower Control Arms
MWC Adj Short Tunnel Mount Torque Arm w/ driveshaft loop
MWC Adj Panhard Bar
BMR Lower Control Arm weld-in Brackets (came with S60)
QA1 Single Adj Rear shocks
QA1 Single Adj R coil overs up front
Stock Rear Springs w/ heater hose mod
Stock sway bars with poly mounts

All MWC components were new, QA1's were used. In total I probably only have 1000-1200 in the rear suspension. IMO it was the best bang for the buck! To have the option of on car full adjustablity is great piece of mind!

Depending on what your goals are, look into a drag coil over set up for up front. Well worth it. My car can be adj to drive like a caddy, or to be set on kill and leave like a raped ape! I love my suspension combo!

I'm a mdw chassis boy as well. Still putting miles on it, but not one issue, very silent, and no more play like the 10 bolt had. And it looks bad ***.

I was between a 26 and 28 initially as well. The main draw for me to the 28 was extra cushion for street driving on my spool. Also I feel with my plans and goals, 28 will be fine. I have 3.73's and with that tire they seem to pair up well. The real test will be this weekend when I go to the track with this current set up and I see exactly where I will trap at! I will keep you posted.
