my 1998 740 turbo wagon I've been slowly replace old part from bumper to bumper with 240.000 mile on the car. Replace all the shocks only to find the rear springs were so beat due to original shocks being weak. Since I have a tow bar that I pull a 4x8 trailer with, the back bumper seems to low and doesn't handle the weight too good when stop and go with a load. Nothing dangerous, but up and down of the rear of the car.....Decided on new springs and found IPD parts sale has a sale on there heavy duty springs. Now the car sits at the proper height and with a 300lb more load increase. Feel real tight in handling without the rear up and down breaking force. I would recommend these springs as the best upgrade for our classic 740 wagons...Feels like it should.
