Hello, im new to the thread and own a 1990 240 and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on to what i can do to it. conversions and mostly suspension. vie been hear mixed signals about the suspension. i was aiming for just drop springs, but don't know where to find good ones.

I'm of the opinion that lowering a 1980s car like a 240 is silly and wrong. it will just ruin the ride, it won't significantly improve handling unless you're building a rally car for track use. anti-sway bars and good (not too stiff) shocks, sure. replace the old worn suspension bushings, definitely. one of the nice things about 240s is they have good ground clearance, they don't scrape driveways or speed bumps. drop that car 2" and forget all that. and if you take 2" out of the suspension travel, you need to use much stiffer springs to keep it from bottoming out, now your ride becomes harsh and jiggly.

 

+1 to what Pierce said.

 

+2 to Pierce. A slammed 240 looks silly. But it's your ride....
