Finally getting to the suspension on my 242V8 project. I see on EBay a seller is offering a coilover set up for 240 Volvos, "BC Racing BR coilovers" for around $1,000. Adjustable compression/rebound, adjustable ride height, adjustable front camber plates, "pillowball" (?) mounts, custom spring rates and valving available as are rebuild parts. I had intended to go with a set of KONI Sports for their adjustability, but adding up the $600 or so for the Konis, $300 for IPD springs, upper shock mounts, etc, etc, I'm WAY, WAY over $1,000. Lifetime warranty on KONI vs 1 year on BC Racing coilovers. Could these be a cost effective alternative? NOT building a race car, just a sweet handling street car. I know some have gone to coilover set-up, anybody out there have any thoughts/personal experience with these or any other brand of coilovers? Sea changes in life situation of late has meant money is tight, can't afford to "experiment", very willing and grateful to listen to others.
