S90, Suspension upgrade? S90-V90

With some creativity you may be able to get 850 front shocks fitted (and thus take advantage of the aftermarket options that are available for the 850).

With some cash (~$3,000) you can get the factory lowering kit from Europe. One of the Turbobricks guys did this, but didn't install the lowering spring (indeed, I think for whatever reason... probably language barrier... he didn't even receive the spring). The car thus oversteered quite dramatically, and ended up in a wreck.

Doing custom whatever with the front suspension shouldn't be too hard.. doing whatever with the rear presents a challenge, as to deal with the rear spring you'd need to find the proper (dealer only) spring compressor and perhaps someone willing to fabricate a leaf spring (try finding someone to make a fiberglass one for an affordable amount... ha).
