Hello,

I have two Volvo 245s, one 83 and one 87. Lately both suffer from a sagging rear end with no load. I have heard a lot about the overload coil springs for the rear from IPD and I am considering buying some. I like the idea of being able to add more weight to the car without as much sagging. However, I have also discovered that a few auto parts stores in my area carry "variable rate" rear springs made by TRW, McQuay-Norris, etc., for a lower price and are available in stock.

My question is whether there is a noticible difference in the IPD springs? If there is, I would just assume get them. But if not, I would go with the others. Any thoughts?

Thanks for any replies in advance!!
