Volvo 140 » Overload Coils

After decades of use, the rear springs (even on Volvos) usually begin to sag. If you fill the rear with cargo, it gets even worse. It looks funny, makes the car drive funny and changes the geometry of the rear suspension, which in turn puts additional stress on the shocks and bushings. Overload springs offer a 20% stiffer spring rate over stock, returning your Volvo to its proper ride height and will increase carrying capacity overall. Prices are per pair.

6S2011 Reviewed by Rob P from Alameda, CA (bay area)

I have them on my 92 245, and I can say they made a great differance. Very Good for when you have alot of stuff in your car, weighing it down-but i am going to switch them out for a complete set of TME lowering springs soon, to go with my cars new sporty look, in addition to the +T coming soon.

6S2011 Reviewed by Charles W. from Alameda, CA

After installing the springs, I can feel my 245 handles more better. I have stiff shocks so the rear end is a bit too stiff, recommended to have soft shocks installed to go along with the overload springs.

These overload coils are amazing. I have carried refrigerators and engine complete with transmissions still attached to them inside my wagon. Hardly any noticeable sag on the rear. The ride does change in the rear but hardly noticeable. When under heavy load the springs ride like stock.
