ipd Anti-Sway Bar Kits

If you know ipd, you know that we began pioneering anti-sway bar set-ups for Volvos more than 40 years ago.

Cars continue to evolve, and handling characteristics that were once available only on high-end exotics are now commonplace. We originally developed our anti-sway bars to enhance handling performance (which they do). However, these are the same sway bars many Volvo drivers install as safety improvements. They’ll give your Volvo handling characteristics that put it in a handling class well above where it is now and get it well on its way to handling with the same panache as much sportier machinery while retaining its Volvo identity.

You won’t believe the improvement and you’ll wish you’d bought a set sooner. If you don’t believe us, ask anyone who’s tried them! Satisfaction Guaranteed, period. They really are that good. THE suspension performance part for any Volvo. Anti-Sway Bars have been ipd’s best seller for over 40 years and represent the most significant return on investment of any product we sell. It’s often remarked by customers and employees alike that “If you only buy one thing ever from ipd, it should be Anti-Sway Bars for your Volvo.”

Anti-Sway Bars will drastically reduce the amount of body roll your car experiences around corners and increase ride comfort to boot. All this translates into much more precise handling and control over your Swede with absolutely zero trade-off in ride quality. All ipd safety anti-sway bar packages are built using the finest materials available, including, high memory 4140 cold-rolled chro-moly steel, lifetime warrantied polyurethane bushings and grommets and premium grade hardware. Detailed step-by-step instructions are included.

Sport Springs by ipd

With specific applications for sedans and wagons we've designed these springs to have a drop of about 1.75 inch in the front and 1.25 inch in the rear, giving your Volvo a more aggressive stance. The lowered center of gravity and increased spring rate work together to tighten your ride, improve handling and reduce body lean in the corners.

Truss Design Brace Kits by Cherry Turbo

Incredibly strong trussed and triangulated chassis brace kits for 240, 700 and 940 series Volvos. They are generally recognized by Volvo performance enthusiasts as the most effective at eliminating unwanted chassis flex. Constructed of cold rolled steel and powder coated for extremely high strength and a superior finish. For best results, you should install the upper and lower braces, as they are designed as a system.
