We developed 2 kits for each R model - Standard & Track Spec.
Standard rear Bar Upgrade kit
Our standard upgrade kit ups the size of the rear bar only. This kit is intended for most drivers and will significantly reduce body roll and brings the non DSTC controlled handling balance closer to neutral when compared to the stock under steering (plowing) handling characteristics.
Track Spec Kit
Because a high percentage of R owners are experienced drivers and are entering their cars in non competitive track events, we also developed a "Track Spec" kit that shifts the cars balance to mild over steer by changing the roll couple distribution to a rear bias. This allows experienced performance drivers the thrill of high speed "tail out" driving when DSTC is disabled under safe track conditions. If you are comfortable sliding your car around corners, but wish it didn't "plow" so much, this is the kit for you. Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle.

Installed the 22mm rear sway bar on my 2001 2.4 V70 FWD. My V70 did not have a factory rear anti-sway bar and was hard to control on fast corners. After one hour to install using stock Volvo end-links I took my Volvolito out on some hard curves.
WOW!!!!!!! great improvement. Only one regret, I called ipd to order a 25mm rear anti-sway bar and I was told that they only make a 22mm rear bar for 2001-2007 V70 FWD. "what a shame". So all of you V70 FWD folks out there call or send an email to ipd asking for more performance parts for P2 V70 FWD.

An upgrade that I should have done sooner. My V70 T5 feels smoother, safer, more stable and is definately more fun with these bars. Installed with HD endlinks, so some of the credit may go to them, but overall the combination of HD endlinks and anti-sway bars was well worth it.

I installed front and rear bars on my V70 T5, as well as end-links (big QBM's on the front). These upgrades are a subtle improvement over the T5 stock bars (19 rear, 22 front, upgraded to 22 rear, 25 front), but definitely noticeable. The car still feels relatively soft, just a little firmer in roll. It still pushes, and positive dynamic camber is still a problem. But all in all, the sway bars were a worthwhile upgrade. Nordic Motors in San Carlos did the work, and did a fine job, with one small exception that they were happy to fix. I'd recommend them.

I have IPD swaybars on my 1987 740 wagon and couldn't wait for them to release them for my 2001 S60. Absolutely the best change anyone can make to improve handling. I have had some bushing problems since installing them in 2002; not IPD's fault, due to all the salt used on the roads in the winter. Thanks IPD for a great product.

The guys at IPD told me it would take about 4 hours to install these--which is what my mechanic charged me. I have just one word: SWEEEET. I took my S80 on a tight curvy road, kept it revved in 2nd gear and was amazed! It truly is another car now--no roll, no drift, no tire squeel. Under normal conditions, that little S-curve getting on the highway becomes smooth as silk. It was worth every penny.

Great increase in stability and handling in my 01 XC70 while not being too rigid.

This upgrade improved the handling on my 02 XC dramatically. Especially (sudden) lane changes at higher speeds (65 mph+) can be done with much more confidence and the car feels more balanced with less body roll.

These things are slick, especially in the twisties @ 50-60mph. Steering is much more compliant, deliberate and effortless...the car corners on rails. It also absorbs the bumps and soaks up the dips much better. I notice that the sway bars have alleviated some of the harshness of the my sport spring setup. Acceleration out of the turns is much more pronounced, and I don't feel like I'm gonna fly off the road when I've got my foot into it. The ride is much more unified and consistent. The only problem I forsee is that I will now want to drive faster in order to enjoy the benefits of this mod! Thanks a lot!

The installation of this product was a pain, with my jack stands and hand tools, but if you are looking for a stiffer ride, want to remove body role and increase handling this is for you. The juice was worth the squeeze.
