My wife just got a 93 245 with 153k in great shape. It seems to have the original shocks and struts which don't work anymore. The car has lots of body roll, and I want to make it handle better, especially in any emergency manuever that might occur. I think I'm going to go with Sachs Advantage shocks and struts like I used on my 242. My question is about sway bars. Which size bars did the turbo wagons come with? Are the IPD bars a lot better than Turbo bars in this application, or just a little better? I see that IPD recommends 25mm front, 22mm rear, just like they recommend for sedans. I think I read on here that the factory set-up for the wagons was different than the sedans.?.? What's the consensus? Any opinions/advice appreciated.
