Hi Guys,
Kinda new here, been lurking around this forum a bit to get some ideas for doing a customer's car which is a 1984 Volvo 240 DL (which now stands for "down low" btw). This is the setup that we went with:
Saab 900 front Shocks (KYB)
Stock KYB Rear shocks
300# Front Springs (2.5" x 8")
275# Rear Springs (2.5" x 8" )
Threaded Sleeve lengths - 7" Front, 5" Rear
The owner has plans to put a v8 later on in there. 305 chevy I believe he said, which we (www.re-speed.com) will be doing later on for them.
For the front had to machine out a 1/2" spacer to go inbetween the top hat and the upper mounting plate. That is probably the only not pictured. Also the sleeves I had to machine out the inner diameter a bit to slide over the front shocks. The rear one I originally ordered a 7" sleeve but ended up cutting it to 5" as it was too low. Hope that helps a few of you guys our there. We would consider making kits for them in you guys are interested also. They would look a bit nicer than this one though.
Anyways onto the pictures:
