Hi guys, Im getting my new lowering springs (1.5") and new shocks put in and i want to put a heavier bar at the back- im thinking about a 25mm bar as that...
you might want to do some research on the balance between front and rear suspension on 240 and useful thicknesses for front and rear sway bars. people on this...
Hi guys The time has come to depart with my beloved - well at least the one with four wheels before the one with two legs departs me... So the V70R has had its...
Yeh thanks. I was really happy with the way they turned out and how they look on the car. $35 each for the powdercoat. If you chip them, heaven forbid, you can...
Then that would mean that the 760 spring has a shorter free length, therefore less travel in the rear I guess. The fronts have a tapered wind at the top, do...
700 (non-irs) and 200 rear springs are virtually identical (including free length) apart from wire diameter. 700 wire is smaller. However! DO NOT put the...
Virgo 5 spokes are what i want, my brother in law came round last night in his 244 with a set on which he said came from a 240, but the ones on the wifes 240...

I am really confused now. What springs should I use in my 940 Wagon? If free length is an issue, then there must be a shorter shock absorber available. And a...
Steve I understand what your saying about rear lowered springs, but you can't always have it three ways, ie. to have lowered, load carrying ability & retained...

True. I guess I should have said: DO NOT fit Kings 700 springs UNLESS you also install limiting straps or somesuch. Another way might be to fit 200 series...
Hi Anthony, I guess your right. That's what they supply the straps in this kit whit there coil over's. Not sure what the straps are made from, nor exactly...
I can only speak about the rear springs a little, but I guess it depends on what you're after. If you want a straight replacement, then you might have to buy...
Well I didn't want to raise that, but now that you did, I will continue. I had thought of cutting down the OEM springs as its the cheapest simples option. A...
Well, my young bloke chopped the front and rear coils on his 242GT and it worked fine. Just enough that they're loose on full droop but not loose enough to...
All Well these pics raise alarm bells with me. There's no way the hat should be ground off in situ. One slip in this dodgy setup and you have ground into the...

A bunch of thick cable ties wrapped around the last coil of the spring and going around the spring seats in the trailing arm works fine for me, holds the...
I normally don't mention the taboo of spring cutting, but since it has been brought up, I may as well add that I've got significantly shortened stock springs...
They were standard fitment on: '80-'81 242GT '81-'85 244GLE Some 240's in the late '80's. I'll try to get a pic of my 164 with Virgo's uploaded tonight, if I...
I have a 164, and the rear springs appear to be the same as a 240 i wrecked. I had great success many years ago adding 'soft' springs and realy stiff dampers...
Some confusion going on here!! "the 700 volvo has the same rear springs as a 2series just longer and with thinner coils?" They can not be "the same" 1. If the...
The following is a very BASIC method I use to compare similar Volvo coil springs . Any suspension/spring expert can/will pick holes in this but it might help. ...
thats what a set of 4 kyb's cost me a year or so ago. they are a good shock and usually cost between 120 and 150 each shock. dont go too crazy on the front...
Not quite. The 700 rear springs are virtually identical to the 200 rear springs in every way except for wire diameter. 200 and 700 rears are virtually...
Gday all, just updating progress on my 240 turbo project! I just had my new springs and shocks fitted- KMac springs with a 1.5" drop and 30% stiffer ride all...

Andrew, I took a power steering rack off one of my 242's not long ago, and it's just sitting there, so I'll take a pic or two of the U-bolt mounting holes to...
