Did the IPD conversion ... 900

...on my 89 760a year or so back...don't really care for it. The back end will not take too much of a load, even passengers in the back seat, before it starts to go too low.

When I first got the kit from IPD, the back end was too high, and I was told that it would settle down. After 2 months it did some, but was still way too high. Got with IPD, and to their credit it was found that they had sent me the wrong springs. They paid for the exchange, labor and fright. Good folks.

Still, even with the right ones to bring the car to the right level, it sinks with added weight in the back, and rides rough to boot. Not IPD's fault ...just the nature of changing something that works ..the Nivomats ..to something that is not made to go there.

After thinking on it, it would have cost me about the same to go with two new Nivomats, and I would have had close to a factory ride, and I would bet the extra weight issue would not be as bad.

Just my 2c. (or that may be a quarters worth, all that I wrote) :)
