Springs On AWD?

[Mental Wealth Doctor]

Will Heavy Duty Replacement springs fit on the rear of 850 awd,
was thinkin they might be bit firmer than little nivomat springs?
Advice please

I don't know of any mate sorry.

BTW have you seen the IPD uprated ARB kit on PFV? £400 odd quid for our cars. Just lookin to replace my front suspension at the moment, but can't decide whether to replace with standard or go with uprated (at heavily increased cost though). I want to stiffen up the front end, but don't want to compromise comfort.

now my limit knowledge says we need 940/960 rears for the back of the AWD, dunno if you get lowering springs for the 9 series??

Cheers 888 Dont think im gonna lower her just yet coz clearance is handy , right then 940 960 rear sprrings sound, gonna give the self levellers a bit of assistance me thinkz
ive just bought set of bilstien B4 gas front shocks from euro part for £60 each,
lot cheaper than the £112 pfv want for em,
ive also had to get some geniune wishbones coz aftermarket ones have crappy bushes,
new top an lower mounts, bump stops, hopefully wont be like sailing a boat anymore! lol
maybe pair of these bilstien will help u bomb, i'll know better in few days when i get to have a play

yeh seen that arb kit, lot of wonga think i need to get some new alloys first then i can finish fitting the brake discs,
Did strut brace make much difference Bomb ? ?

[Dangerous Dave]

Oooh, thats a good price on them B4s, nice find buddy. Just lookin at the ECP website now. And especially as my nearest one is only 5 mins down the road.

Not really sure about the strut brace, as I didn't do any before/after driving/cornering, etc. I think it did stiffen up the front end a bit and stopped a bit of wheelspin, and others on here have always said that it does make a difference.

It didn't make a difference before I fitted the MBC. I just wanted to stop having to clear the crap out of the intake pipes every month. I guess it all helps though.

make us a offer mate, they came off my V70R classic AWD, so will go straight onto yours, obviously you will want the fronts too they are used, the car had done 100k when it was taken off the road,

ps front springs are still on the struts.

[Mental Wealth Doctor]

hhhhhmmmmmmm this is one of them law of sod's things, ive just got bilstiens, for the front, ...... hmmm dew have the rear nivomats also, or better still can i borrow your reg plate and vin to order some new ones, bloody daft i know, they cant find the part these days without them, so if i want v70r bits from frf i gotta find someone willing to lend vital info.

You would need the chassis code to determine the suspension setup. Its the 8 didgit code in the second from bottom, right hand cell on the identification plate.

And there might be a problem with them fitting, then again there may not.
