Sport Springs 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Anthony on  Thu Jan 3 07:28 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'm thinking of installing sport springs on my 1990 745. I'm looking to firm up the ride. More importantly, I want to do something about the sagging springs on the driver side that have been bugging me. I'm not sure if they exist for this car or who sells them. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

    Look all of you ;] - just go to www.shox.com It carries several makes of springs and links to each of them so that you can plug in the make/model of your brick and it will tell you whether they make them for it. IPD has them for sure but hey, variety is the spice of life, right? Plus if you become a member of volvospeed.com (free) there may be some discount of sorts. I know that shox.com blows away IPD's price on Bilsteins if anyone is interested. One recommendation for anyone that has a wagon though - go with a manufacturer that makes springs specific for wagons as opposed to the same spring for a wagon and sedan. The additional weight of the wagon will result in the rear sagging if they are not stiffer.

    Look, both of you... Just go to IPD (www.ipdusa.com) and order a set of their sport springs- $280 for sedans and $296 for wagons. They are powder coated and of high quality.

    I have a 90' 744. any info on the sport springs would be appreciated. I have heard that on the sedan i could use wagon rear spring and stiffen my ride. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Justus..

    I want my 740 to be a tighter ride than my 960 (it's on rails)
