Could I buy lowering springs for an 850 for my S70? Also is there a difference between the turbo and non-turbo springs? Lastley, (not sure if that's a word) if I buy lowering springs, would it stiffen the ride? I really want to corner better. Thanks.

 

IPD has the same part number for S70/V70 and the 850 models So I would ***ume Yes.. The turbo makes no differences, but if it is a wagon or a sedan and alsothe driveterrain (AWD or FWD)make a difference.

If you want to corner better then start with the IPD swaybars.
Then If you have money left over, upgrade to sport springs. The sport spring are only ~15%-~30% stiffer, and It is not that bad>>IMO.
I also have Bilstein HDs to help provide better dampening for the stiffer springs.
I really wantto get mine revalved (they are over 11 years old but are still in great shape)so Ican run~350lb springs in the front and ~300lb springs in the rearin a custom coilover setup, But that is just me

 

I am looking at IPD's selection of sport springs. Which would yourecommend? I personally like the Eibachs.

 

Eibach is a good company but I dont see how much it lowers the car.
I like H&R for they make great products as well, but not as low as some might like.
My dad tried the IPD sport springs 10 years ago but then the TME cam out and those are nice, but They dont sell them anymore.
I think you would like Eibach

 

Thanks, now I just have to wait on my tax return!
I wanted some 17's for my car, but I think lowering it would be better since I've yet to find wheels as nice as the stock turbo wheels.

 

Eibach springs are a 1.2" drop.
