Does anyone know if the springs for the '96 850 turbo sedan will work on the wagon? I ask because i ordered some online and later found out that the spring model # corresponds to the one on the H&R site that is for sedans, while my vehicle is a wagon. (When i went to order there was no distinction so i figured they were the same springs for both. Apparently not.) Are the physical dimensions different, the rate different, or both? Anyone know?

 

I really don't know, butwagons and sedans oftenhave diff curb weights and/or weight distribution, so perhaps the spring rates are slightly diff. Wish I could help more, hopefully someone will know for sure....

 

I'm going to say don't use them. Get ones made for the wagon. I think someone tried this before and the rear sagged a lot when they used sedan springs on a wagon.

 

Agree with S70. The weight distribution and loads are different for the sedans and wagons. I believe I read somewhere where the rear spring on the wagons is a stiffer spring.

 

I think i agree with you, S70. I ordered the correct springs from tirerack last night. After thinking about it, i didn't want to have to mess with trying to make it work. I'm sure they are different model #s for a reason. I don't think shox.com takes returns...guess i'll just try to turn around and sell them. Ah well. Anyone want some H&R springs?

 

Try and return them. If they haven't been installed I don't see why they wouldn't take them back.

If all else fails sells them on here, volvospeed, turbobricks, swedespeed, etc.... CraigsList and EBAY.

 

try IPDUSA.com they have the spring for the volvo.. I used their lowering spring on my 940. it rides awesome!!!!
