RE: 850R
I too am also looking for a good suspension set up for my N/A '95 850, and if like everyone says, the KW coilovers are the best i guess that is the way to go, but will someone please explain how they work, and whats different from just a normal shock/spring set up? why are they so much better? thanks

RE: 850R
I am sorry if I sound rude. But your answers can be solved if you just did a little searching on the internet.
A good setup for you would be this.
1. Strut brace (IPD, EST, OMP, VOLVO OEM)
2. KONI and or Bilstein HD shocks/struts
3. B&G, H&R, IPD, APEX Suspension System's lowering springs
4. Most importantly for your suspension get IPD sway bars. Best suspension upgrade you can do.
5. QBM (QuickBrickMotorSports) sway bar endlinks
6. QBM Control Arms
-------------------------------
KW Coilovers are so much more then a normal shock/strut and spring setup. Viva Performance sells KW check out their website and see what is said about the coilovers. The ride quality may be harsher though.

why no aluminum? And also i went to the viva performance site, and read about the KW coilovers, and according to the description, they do in fact seem better than a conventional srping and shock set up, so, not to be rude, do u recomend sticking with shocks and springs?

Yes KW coilovers are better. But the ride quality could be less then perfect. But you can raise and lower the car a good amount.
It is up to you. If I had the money I would go KW Coilovers.

RE: 850R
thanks, but i could indeed go with an IPD strut brace that isnt aluminum?
If not the KW coilovers, would you consider the Koni FSD shocks a good choice? possibly with ebiach lowering springs, because Eurotune offers a package:

I also say this because on your list of mods for my 850 you excluded ebiach from the list of possible springs. THANK YOU

Yes KONI FSD's and Eibach springs would be a great match.

ok cool thank you, i think i will do all of those things, including getting the koni's and ebiachs, because while i do have the money to but the KW coilovers, i would perfer to have more finacial room for other mods.

I would stick with Suspension, Interior styling, Exterior styling.

RE: 850R
Ok, i think i will...135? stock?
i did have another question as well, do u think that lowering the car an inch or so will be made up for by the stiffer shocks, or will it be more prone to bottoming out?
although the majority of the money i will spend on this car is going to suspension things, do u think a new air filter and a new cat back system would benefit me enough to be worth it?

- Your suspension is going to be stiffer all around with a new suspension upgrade. I think the IPD Sport Springs are softer, but in general he suspension will be stiffer IMO. You shouldn't have a problem bottoming out really.
- A new panel filter (K&N, or stock paper) will be a good upgrade. A catback system will be a good add on, but wont add much power (Maybe 5 Hp at the most, maybe 10). Remember you want the catback made with 2.25" piping at the most 2.5" piping with a Flowmaster muffler or any muffler that has baffles in it. A straight through design muffler is too free flowing for the NA, as the NA needs backpressure.

RE: 850R
Do you reccomend that i get the IPD springs instead?
Does the fact that they are softer mean i will be sacrificing performance? i live in los angeles where there are many cracks and potholes, and this car will also remain a daily driver, but i would like some better handling characteristics.
