Re: Shocks 850 95

For street use I'll still be running Michelin 205/50/16s (Hoosier 205/45/16 on the track). I'm addding the ipd anti-sway bars and replacing the OEM rubber bushings with poly. The other mods I'm sorting out are the springs (between Eibach and H&R), shocks (Koni Single Adjustable Sport Shocks), and a camber kit so I can get more than .5 degree of negative camber.

In my browsing about it appears Koni now makes a double adjustable Sport Shock (bump and rebound) but, as you can imagine, it's pricey. Truechoice also makes a double adjustment kit for the Koni shocks. I'm opting for the single adjustable for cost and expectation reasons. For the Volvo I'm looking mostly for reductions in and dampening of body roll. The rebound settings will get that done (along with the springs) for me.

Since my mods will still be sitting on a taller tire than what you're running it sounds like I will still be able to get my wife to ride with me.. ;)

Thanks.
