Akebono Euro Ceramics all around and they're fantastic.
Volvo S60 parts reviews
New BF Goodrich Comp TA a/s tires, and even on stock suspension it’s really helped. The ride is a bit crunchy but worth it.
I'd also replace the brake pads with ceramic (same/less cost than OEM) as they stop better and shed very little brake dust unlike the OEM Volvo units.
For a budget snow tire I have been using these now for 2 years and love them:
When we got it most of the major fluids and mechanicals had been done(timing belt, control arms). It has close to 120k now and after some more maintenance( tie rods, new tires, alignment) it drives brand new, only thing left to replace are the brake pads and rotors.
I have 2005 S60 Turbo as a daily. Bought it brand new in 2005 and she now has 157,000 trouble-free miles. However, being a European car, replacement items can be pretty expensive. I've replaced: brakes and rotors ($1,200).
I decided to order the OEM Bosch coil off of FCP Euro. Same issue about a 1/4inch too long. Being kind of annoyed and noticing that they're pretty much identical decided to pull the rubber boot off the old and swap it with the new one.
The car now runs a lot better, however, I think the slight difference in ignition coils is making the car run slightly choppy at high rpms
I did buy the correct size Bosch replacements, but the connection doesn't match the original connection with the plugs I described.
