Hello,

I am thinking of installing the original 'sports-kit' that is available for
the post 1995 models 960/S90. The kit consists of heavier springs, including
a heavier transverse leaf spring and sportier shocks all around. There also
is a stiffer anti-roll bar for the rear. All are original Volvo.
Does anyone have any experiences with this? What did it do to the handling
of the car ?

Thanks ahead for any reaction !

It sounds like a very good idea and should help you stick to the road better
with no need to get lower profile tyres (which ruin the ride quality anyway).
There should be no need for a stiffer front ant-roll bar but it may well help to
get a strut brace and chassis brace for your car which will help with the
directivity of your car by stiffening up the front chassis. If you cannot find a
strut and chassis brace kit for your car have a look at IPD's site (
http://www.ipdusa.com ). They can mail items to you but I think they can refer
you to a European outlet that stocks their gear.

All the best, Peter.
