    Pm Russ on here, he should be able to help you.

    You can also PM RUFE for the front strut brace, Volvo do a genuine one that's pretty top notch and RUFE will do you a good deal on it.

    for your ARB's & poly bushes i'd go to PFV LINK (site seems to be down at the minute)

    for your strut braces i'd go to Automac LINK if you search for "volvo 850" they do quite a few different braces for ours

    as for shocks & springs it depends what makes you want

    Try Don at Kalmar Union , Ive always found him good, very nice fella .... It just takes him a while to call you back sometimes He stocks most of that stuff.

    Ive got a strut brace ( Rufe ), bilstein B4's ( Europarts definately ), Eibach springs ( Kalmar or Performance 3000 - they are in Northern Ireland and the guy is a member of this forum but I cant remember who now ....sorry ...very nice guy tho and a good price. Think Ive his number if you PM me ), all new shock mounts ( Rufe )are a must if yours are tired, adjustable camber bolts ( Kalmar ) on the front struts and a rear IPD anti roll bar ( Kalmar Union ) and the car handles really well .

    Im sure other people stock this stuff this was who I went to.

    The suspension is a good comprimise for everyday use . Ive got a dodgy back and I find it fine.

    I would recommend getting 4 wheel lazer alignment done , it made a world of difference to my car .

    Good luck with getting it sorted

    No not everyone does it :-(

    Have a look at this http://www.elitedirect.com/WheelAlig...Alignment.html

    They have the Hunter system ... Im sure lots of other places have it as well .... have a check on this link http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/ it has a locator on it so you can find one near you .

    It really made a huge difference to my car but mine was all over place in the first place .
