Sport Springs (ipd)

When you purchase springs that change the factory design and geometry verify the condition of and replace:
- suspension bushings front and rear (urethane or not is up to you - research)
- ball joints, outer and inner steering rack tie rods
- check, adjust, clean, and pack fresh, new grease in the front wheel bearings
- Replace all driveling fluids - tranny and rear differential fluids, verify no leaks.
- Research, research, RESEARCH!
- If you buy rubber (motor mount, suspension bushing) or electrical auto parts, verify it is made in the USA or Europe ONLY. Chinese and East Indian quality is unsafe.
- Finally, if you buy these springs, the adjustable torque rods and adjustable panhard (track rod) rod is MANDATORY or driveline alignment suffers and premature wear of driveline components wear prematurely. IPD sales did not tell me about this.
- If you have an 1989 or newer 240, your 240 may be equipped with the ABS strut tubes. Bilstien HDs WON'T fit into these tubes. This fact has been known since 1989 by Volvo, Bilstein, and various vendors and only in the last few years has this fact become commonly known. To trade up and keep your ABS strut tubes, buy KONIs.

These ipd springs are a must if you drive like me.. I used the ipd sways bilstein hd in the front of my 242 along with the adjustable panhard bar agressive stance slams into corners like it's on rails a must upgrade for your 240 don't forget to remove the upper rubber on the stock rear springs for more drop

I'm happy. The ride is firm with the Bilstein HD shocks added, but not too firm. Greatly improved cornering and responsive attitude. There is of course more road noise transfer with the firmer springs but the trade-off, I think, is well worth it. Also, the lower stance makes the Brick look a bit sporty.

All in all, these springs are worth the money and time spent on installation. I'm usually not happy with spending $250 on anything, but these springs put a smile on my face when I first drove my 240 after installing them.

All in all, a VERY GOOD BUY. I only wish you could actually see them, as they are really striking, with the blue color! When you do this upgrade, don't "skimp", since you already have things apart, consider replacing all mounts & shocks & struts, too. I went with OEM grade shocks & struts & they were relatively inexpensive. The car does have a more aggressive stance, and with my 17" x 8" VOXX wheels, I do get rubbing at full lock (typical w/ most lowered Volvos & plus sized wheels) in the front, and the back has VERY little clearance (about 1/4 of an inch, or less!), but it does not rub. Any lower & I would certainly rub.

BUY THEM!

Great springs! Ended up taking a coil off the front springs for my taste. very easy to install. good price.

Great upgrade for handling. body roll is almost gone and help with better control. The change in the height does give it a little more of a "sporty" look and is noticeably lower. Thanks again iPd!

These were an excellent upgrade over stock. They could use to be about another .5-1" lower and a little bit stiffer for my taste. However, given the ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE handling improvement with these springs combined with the 25mm sway bar kit, I cannot complain much.
