240 Lowering springs ,IPD or Eurosport? 200

Anyone use both the IPD springs or the eurosport springs? Just wondering which ones are a little softer than the other. Not looking for a real low drop but wanted to get some opinions about who has what and if they like them after swapping the stock ones out. The back of my 242 is sagging but I like the way it sits, but the front looks like a truck - to high. So Im thinking about a whole set or just use a set of front turbo springs since those cars sat lower (I believe(, than the N/A cars.

Dan is right, you may want to check. Every one with over 100k that I have looked at has bad rear trailing arm bushing. I have IPD lowering springs and mine was lower in the rear so I had to make plates to get it level. The NEW IPD lowering spring addressed that and will drop it in the front a bit more to give a better rake that I like. Greg

The first thing to check for rear end sag would be the rear trailing arms bushings, are they shot?

They rattle a little bit so they are probably bad, it's on the to do list though.

You need to crawl under there and look to see if the bolt that goes through the center of the bushing is in the center and not near the bottom. If it is near the bottom the rubber part has disintegrated or collapsed from age and use.
