Page 6: springs

Over the last several years we’ve been hearing from our 240 customers that our TME sport springs, or lowering coils as they’re sometimes called, still left the car a little higher and a tad softer than what they were after. Many customers even cut our sport springs to achieve the stance they wanted. Based on that feedback we’re now happy to carry our new ipd Sport Springs. With specific applications for sedans and wagons we’ve designed the front springs to be 3/8” lower in the front than the TME springs and changed the spring rate to about 5% stiffer than the TME springs. The result is a drop of about 1.75” in the front and 1.25” in the rear, giving your 240 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. Combine our springs with a set of our ipd Anti-Sway Bars and your suspension is ready to handle whatever the pavement throws your way!

Travel is dangerous enough without sagging or overloaded rear springs. ipd overload springs keep you riding level. They’re 20% stiffer than stock springs and they help maintain the original ride height (can raise some cars as much as 1/2”). The design assures a good ride, even when your Volvo is free of cargo. Safely increase load capacity by 300 pounds. Our overloads are commonly used as replacements for worn or sagging stock springs. Many owners that have made the upgrade report significant handling improvements. Prices are for a pair of springs.
