242 WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION 200 79

posted by  someone claiming to be DAVID on  Wed Aug 15 20:08 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello,

I would like to ask if any one has weighted the individual corners of a 242. The manual suggests a total weight of 1240kg. The reason I'm asking is that my Volvo has been lowered (33mm front), (55mm rear), and I'm getting a set of shock absorbers rebuilt with rebound rates set to suit the spring rate and the weight of the car.

Has anybody had experience with this.

Any advise about the weight, and/or the rebound rates would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

David
