I am new to Volvos and just recently bought a 1991 245 that I want to lift. I am looking for the advice of others who have been down this road before to make sure I am not missing anything. The car will be a pavement only rig with the lift being for added hauling capabilities as well as a more aggressive looking stance. I am thinking a max of 3" of lift with a max tire diameter of 28 inches.
Rear suspension Components I have already purchased:
- IPD adjustable panhard bar
- IPD adjustable torque rods
- Kaplhenke Racing adjustable coil seat
- Moog CC217 overload spring.
I need help choosing the correct shocks. The car will be a weekend hauler with little to no off-roading.
Front Suspension:
- Purchased new weld on 5" stock spring buckets. I plan on cutting the original ones off and welding the new ones on higher on the strut housing as required for the amount of lift I want.
- Diesel spring? I still need to buy the springs and strut inserts.
What strut inserts? Again, this is a pavement only rig and won't wee anything other than street use and carrying a load.
