My struts/shocks and springs are original. Now the rear is 1 1/4" lower than the front due to sagging springs. So I'll definately be getting new springs. The question is to go with stock height or lowered about 1.6"?

I recently installed the IPD sway bars 25/22 replacing the original 19/17 and very happy with the new ones. I have ordered Boge Turbo Gas struts and shocks. I figure they will provide a good performance/comfort tradeoff. They should be a happy medium from the soft Boge Auto to the stiff Boge Pro Gas. I really don't want a harsh ride.

Evetually I want to junk the original 14" steel wheels and go to 15" alloys. The tires are 7 years old anyway and due for replacement. I'll probably go with 205/65-15 to maintain original diameter.

The lowered springs at IPD look too stiff for me. The B&G from FCP have gotten my attention, only $219. I'll pass on the Scan Tech ones.

I don't haul anything around. This car is for plain driving around town always on pavement. I don't see any stock springs around and I'm sure Volvo would charge me an arm and a leg for them.

Any experience or comments about the lowered springs from B&G to go with my setup would be appreciated.
